Celebration times



June and July are busy months chez Chateau Midden:  both boys’ and Fester’s birthdays and our wedding anniversary land in these months.

Here’s how they were recorded on Facebook …




Just wished an old friend a happy birthday on Fester's behalf and had this conversation.
"He's the same age as you"
"Oh I thought he was younger"
"Well, in that yours was on the 6th June and his is today."
"Oh! I'd forgotten I'd had my birthday."




Wedding anniversary competition for our friends.   Guess which card is from whom.

 23 July 2017

To celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary we went to the Waterford Arms for lunch.

The have three sizes of fish: Regular, Large and The Whale. 

Fester insisted Thunderthighs have The Whale as he looked incredulous when told how big it was.

He did his best but ended up putting some on his dad's plate for a doggy bag. 
When the waitress came to clear she looked surprised "He ate it all!?!". At 34 oz I don't think many people clear their plates.




To celebrate Ferretfingers's birthday we had the traditional 'birthday tea'; chocolate cake, trifle, Iceland eclairs, other petit fours, two sorts of pizza, crisps and ham'n'cheese sandwiches.

Fester added whole tomatoes to his savoury selection. At the first bite his tomato exploded juice and pips all down the beard. He swiped most of them down and off his beard. Although he deigned to wear a shirt he hadn't actually done it up.
"There's a tomato pip sliding down your gut" I observed.
"I'd be surprised if it was sliding up" was the reply.
All together now ...
So like the homelife of our own dear Queen
