… to the love of my life on this Woman’s Day. He encourages me to be the woman I want to be and is just plain awesome in every way.
I love being on this journey through life with you, my dearest Mr E. Here’s to many more birthdays! ❤️
Tag: International Women’s Day
Women’s Day today…
… and also my husband’s birthday! I love that his birthday coincides with this day because he is also my favourite feminist (as I point out each year 😊) and the greatest champion of me being who I want to be as a woman and as a human being. He even supported me getting my tattoo (which is healing very nicely and I am still in love with it!), even though he really doesn’t like tattoos much. So, happy birthday to the love of my life!
And to all women everywhere – may you find peace, love, shelter and the space to be who you want to be. I know, that is not an easy feat in the very trying times that we live in… ❤️
Fave feminist at fifty
My fave feminist, my husband, shares his birthday with International Women’s Day and today is a special one for him: he turns 50! We went to my mother’s yesterday for a little pre-celebration. Yes, his beard was long but after a year of quarantine it has been greatly trimmed today; it’s nice and short and he looks like my cute Mr Esther again. Hairdressers opened again last week and he has an appointment for later in the afternoon for his hair to also be cut a bit shorter.
Yesterday afternoon a close friend dropped by and among other things dropped off this (Mr Esther is a bit of a heraldry expert, so a garland of coats of arms is very fitting)…
… and this afternoon we are all off work and school so the four of us can do a little more celebrating, with my in-laws coming over for dinner at the beginning of the evening. All a bit more low key, due to pandemic restrictions but we can’t let it all go by with at least some attention.
As for Women’s Day, I’m with Richard Armitage here…
Happy International Women’s Day! And happy birthday, Mr Esther!
Women’s Day & Birthday
It’s International Women’s Day today and that always means it’s also my favourite feminist’s birthday: Mr Esther is 49 today. 🙂
So far we’re having a low-key lazy Sunday, which suits us more than fine. Mr junior is at work (his hotel internship is still ongoing) and won’t be home until around 4.30 pm. I’m occupying the corner in the left picture now (yes, that’s my laptop on the seat), while my daughter is hangin’ on the couch and Mr Esther is at the computer.
We’ll do cake and gifts when Mr junior gets home and then head out for a family dinner. We may even go out for lunch as well, we’re just now deciding. In any case, despite not getting around to answering comments on previous blog posts and reading e-mails, I am still around. Just bear with me and I will get back to you all.
Have a great Women’s Day and Sunday!
Women’s Day & birthday
A little late as the day is nearing its end, but Happy International Women’s Day anway! A few fun things I came across on my Twitter timeline today…
And because I really like Sandi Toksvig, I’m sharing this one as well. I know it made me laugh…
I’m also partial to this Audrey Hepburn quote on women…
This following clip feels very apt, especially in light of new micro-manager drama that came to light at work. For some reason he mostly seems to piss off the women and this is how the women are reacting…
This Richard E. Grant tweet made me smile…
… just like this one from Hugh Jackman…
… which reminded me of this tweet from Richard Armitage last year. Extra poignant in light of how ill his mum must have been at the time…
But today is also the birthday of my favourite feminist in the world: Mr Esther! Keeping it low-key, the man is a little tired, but he’s looking awfully cute today in a new dark blue bathing robe I got him and his new reading glasses.
Happy birthday to Mr E. and happy International Women’s Day to all! Off to get yummy Chinese takeaway now, to celebrate. It’s getting late and we’re hungry…
