Relative Poverty  — 1 week ago

18. I will not embarrass you by buying you over-lavish gifts or taking you to holiday among snobbish rich people.

Breath  — 1 week ago

19. I don’t smoke and don’t drink, and if I can’t brush my teeth between meals I chew gum.

Despite this I am not averse to the idea of sharing garlic breaths.

Convex  — 2 weeks ago

20. My bum is not flat.

Stitching  — 3 months ago

21. I can sew, like Almásy in The English Patient:

Katharine Clifton: I’m impressed you can sew.
Almásy: Good.
Katharine Clifton: You sew very badly.
Almásy: Well, you don’t sew at all.
Katharine Clifton: A woman should never learn to sew, and if she can she shouldn’t admit to it.

I hope you cause me reason to sew.

Rhyme & rhytm  — 4 months ago

22. I can quote poetry.

Suitable  — 7 months ago

23. I’ve been told I look good in a dinner jacket and a dress shirt (I think that’s a tuxedo in the American vernacular). I own and can tie a bow tie.

Restorative.  — 7 months ago

24. Because I’m an adventurer, I’ll often be cold, wet, tired, hungry and thirsty when I get home. You can have fun reviving me, and then more fun when I express my gratitude.

(You’d be welcome to join me in my adventures, but it would never be compulsory.)

Floral  — 8 months ago

25. I know the difference between a strelitzia and a clivia, and I know that neither is a rose.

Sporting events  — 8 months ago

26. When you come to support me at the triathlon you can perve at all the hunks that participate. Then, afterwards, you can decide from the beginning again that you like me for the whole of who I am.

Away  — 9 months ago

27. When I see a cosy hut in the mountains, I think of the two of us spending a weekend there.
