So then, does anyone else have that 'ah, sigh' moment when their other half comes home with a new boy (or girl) toy that is treated as the newest member of the household?
Well, here is the official announcement that as of this Friday, our house now has a new member.
Lovingly and imaginatively termed 'Bikey' by one Mr Saddlesore Hawkes – a Specialized (that's the brand, somewhat reminscent of 'Special Needs') new bike.
It's white, black and red all over (yet cunningly, isn't a newspaper) and my dear husband appears to be having a one-way conversation with it at this precise moment.
Which goes something like 'hello Bikey…. aren't you a lovely Bikey then….. mmmmm…..shall we go for a nice ride later?….' Followed by more satified mmmmmmmm'ing.
It's put my poor Ipad's nose right of of joint as he is no longer the latest new member of the house.
I'd better go off and give him a few strokes, a nice dose of charge and maybe a gentle screen rubdown, just to be sure he doesn't feel too sad… Ah, sigh.
