Blame It On The Bossa Nova


I'm blessed in life to have a gorgeous blonde wife, who takes any and every opportunity to boogie and dance. I have witnessed her in the garden, hosepipe in hand, and shoulders and hips swinging and moving to the beat of whatever was playing on the cd player at the time. Her brush technique when painting the inside of the house whilst Moby is blaring away is something not to be missed.

Today was a tough day gardening, and she worked her socks off. When we got home, I set about tying down the trailer load and filling the van with the accumulated garden rubbish in readiness for dumping tomorrow. Amanda? Well, my wonderful wife was preparing a sumptuous dinner while singing and dancing along to 'The Killers' cd. I came in briefly for a beer, and all I can say is that Ainsley Hayes from a recent West Wing viewing came to mind.


Yep, that was my wife! Although the US president wasn't around......this time anyway.

I am Sam by the way.

    1. I did say that I am Sam in the video John, but I'm sure that as long as I hold on to Amanda tight enough, she can spin us both around the dance floor. Really looking forward to the wedding.
