Poor Ed has had one heck of a day with work related issues….

So I am going to take over his 5 things challenge for him. He was very brave for getting involved - I am not sure that I could have done it….

I know it is cheating and that he is supposed to do five things He likes about himself but 20 things over four days is not bad going is it and even a certain lady, who instigated the whole thing, has had one day off.. so that’s ok then isn’t it? Isn’t it?

So, can I come up with five things I like about Ed that he has not already mentioned?

1. I like the way his hair curls around his collar when it grows. I wish he would not have his hair cut so often but he dislikes the curls himself so he keeps it very short. He always looks smart and well groomed.
2. I like the way he smells. I like the cologne he uses (but yet again I bought it for him). When he comes downstairs in the morning, fresh from his shower, he always smells so good. I also like the way he smells anyway. When we first got together, I used to ask him what after shave he used and he always said that he did not wear any – must have been those pherenomes working their magic. And , even though it sounds a tad gross, I like the way he smells when he wakes in the morning, before he hits the shower!.
3. I like the way he says my name.
4. I like his eyes. They are varying shades of bluey grey. Sometimes they are like reflected rain clouds, and sometimes like the sky itself. They are large and are framed by the most beautiful lashes (actually, our daughter has inherited those sweeping beauties from him - I am dead jealous!). I feel that I need only look into his eyes and I know exactly what he is feeling at that time. They are very expressive.
5. I like the way that he always puts the needs and requirements of other people before himself. His care and concern for his parents is something he may mention in passing but it is such an admirable quality that he is far too modest to boast about. He is so patient and caring that it is humbling. He is amazing.

Well, that is five. I could have gone on and mentioned other things I like such as the way his skin turns so brown in the slightest ray of sun, the admirable work he does for the charity we are Trustees of, the low belly chuckle that makes me want to join in with him (and often do!), his hunky shoulders, and his appreciation of art, poetry and literature but this could get a little long.
So I will end off here.

I hope you like my list. I suppose there is the slight possibility that I am a little bit biased but I am just so blessed that even now, after being married for twenty two years and together for over twenty five years, that there are still so many things about him that I do like.

Thank you for indulging me. OK Ed, you can stop blushing now and come out from hiding behind that computer screen. I have finished!!!!
