I thought that Ryan was Greek. It was his dark features. It was his confident walk. It was the fact that I didn’t know him from a bar of soap. Mr Mysterious. When I eventually met Ryan all those years ago and we got to chatting, I was surprised to hear his Irish accent come out of his Greek body. And to be honest, I was so happy because who doesn’t love an Irish accent? No matter what is said, it’s just always fun. And I’m not sure I could deal with a Greek mother in law – how on earth could I compete with their cooking for a start.
The Irishman = tall, dark and handsome. A true joker, full of craic. Sports fanatic, I’d say
borderline obsessed. Considerate and thoughtful. Ever so romantic.
The Australian = spoiled and
showered with lovely gifts. Very lucky indeed.
I celebrated my thirty
first birthday yesterday and wasn’t looking forward to it one little bit. I
mean, thirty one. That’s like proper
grown up age yet I still feel as though I’m about twenty five. So I woke up
slightly grumpy “Urgh, it’s my birthday”, all tired and not wanting to get out
of bed. You know, pretty pathetic. Lucky for me though, my Irishman was excited and he promptly handed me my lovely birthday card and gifts. It cheered
me up immediately. Not because of the presents, but simply because Ryan had
gone to so much trouble to write me a lovely card and he was so excited to
celebrate the day with me. That made me over the moon happy.
And celebrate we did.
Another Irishman trait...drinking. I adopted that one last night. Mojitos baby!
Radio Mexico in St Kilda was our dinner of choice and honestly, my taste buds
have never been happier. Char grilled corn on the cob with cheese and lime. Pulled
pork tacos. Chicken and green rice. Hangar steak tacos. Then, just when I
thought that I couldn’t eat another morsel, we had birthday cake waiting for us
at home. Strawberry sponge, delicious.
However, the Irishman was
not so happy this morning when I announced that it’s still my birthday week and
that the party is not over yet.
The Australian = cheeky.
Love to you all,
