House husband

Ian has been cooking dinner!  He's even been reading recipe books and preparing something special.  Last night's dinner was a particular highlight.  He prepared a Jamie Oliver recipe using our outdoor wok burner (the one attached to the BBQ).  It was a sweet and sour stir-fry, served on a bed of rice and lettuce - and was absolutely fantastic.  The smell was fantastic as I entered the house - and it tasted better than it smelt!  It was so wonderful to come home from work and have dinner organised and served to me.

I've been so busy at work that I'm not sure I would be able to function if he wasn't at home.  I'm so grateful that he has taken long service leave over this period.  My life is so much easier because of it.  It's not just the cooking, but he has organised a number of tradesmen and has been working hard in the garden.   

All good things must end, and I think he goes back to work in four weeks.  So we'll just enjoy it while we can...
