Ruby wedding anniversary.

I had my ruby wedding anniversary during the lockdowns, so no pubs, restaurants or anything open. My husband got me a card, that's all. I bought him a piece of jewellery (he doesn't like it). We went for a walk around a local country park

the boiler service took me by surprise, especially with his record for not getting things booked

Poor man probably thought you'd be delighted!!!

Perhaps he's planning a warm, intimate night indoors...
Watch out!

Nice idea but our favourite restaurant, and several others, are closed on a Monday.
To be fair, I am not that bothered, but the boiler service took me by surprise, especially with his record for not getting things booked.

Is the supermarket delivery in the evening , if not book a table at your favourite restaurant for that evening and say with everything going on you thought it better to eat out. Hopefully he is not pretending to have forgotten , perhaps he has booked a table already?

And they say romance is dead.

Add some goodies and Champagne to the shopping delivery, then act delighted that he thought of it.
Ha! That’ll fox him.
