Women are so fickle!

I have only popped in and out throughout the week as it has been a bit hectic to say the least. I have finished decorating the lounge, painting the ceiling, walls and woodwork. I don't know about you but I find women quite an enigma and still cannot fathom how their minds work. I have been married for 34 years and have learnt when to speak and when to keep quiet and I learnt early on in our marriage that when choosing furniture or paint colours that I will get the blame for whatever it looks like so I leave the choice to my wife. I guess it is sort of damage limitation in a way. So last week we went to the shop to buy the paint. I had a few ideas about the colour scheme none of which my wife agreed with eventually I said well you choose what colours you want which she did. She chose an oatmeal colour for the walls. At the time I knew what was going to be the outcome once I had finished. Sure enough once I had finished my wife was saying I don't like the colour. I told her I knew that this would happen but would you listen to me. That is why I always give you the choice leaving the final decision to you. I reminded her that she did the same with the kitchen, the same with the bedroom, I told her she made the choice and now she is going to have to live with it for a while and hopefully the room colour scheme will grow on her. My daughter thought it was hilarious and pointed out to her that she does this sort of thing all the time. The rest of the week I have done great things with my daughter and grandchildren who incidently stayed over again last night and started talking at me at 6am this morning and that is all before I had my first cup of coffee. I hope you too have had a very productive week? We went to visit my aunt who is 82. She is really quite fit and active. We had a great day and went to the promenade and had fish and chips. It was too hot to sit out in the sun and eat them because we had the kids with us so we had a much more civilised lunch in a restaurant rather than eating them sitting on the beach, She was off to Germany for the weekend they are driving there and back. They go over every other month and love visiting Germany. I think they are going to a wine festival this time. The photo is of my aunt and me in the restaurant.
