"just once, i'd like to eat my damned dinner before anyone else" -
deb, after making up matthew's bottle, and as she was getting tess her cat food

"yesssssssssssss!!"
mike, as new zealand claimed another wicket in the cricket test

"goo, giggle, gurgle"
matthew, oh, most of the day

Ways to make Matthew giggle include:

kissing the soles of his feet and going "myum, myum, myum, myum"

walking two fingers up his chest and then tickling in between his neck and collar bone

when he's lying on his back, lifting his feet in the air and swinging his legs and lower body around, rocking him from side to side

doing funny dances to music as he watches me

Ways to make Debbie happy include:

bringing her a cup of tea in bed with the morning sun streaming into the bedroom

letting her, on occasion, drink a little more red wine than she should

fixing candles in the bedroom while she's taking a long hot bath

kissing the back of her neck unexpectedly

Ways to make feel me good include:

letting me take my own time about doing things

having cricket commentary on the radio whilst watching it on tv with the sound down

debbie, just right now, coming in and asking me if i'd like a little glass of cognac

retiring early to the afore-mentioned candle lit and essential oil aromaed bedroom
