Toy Soldiers

The high point of Martika's singing career lol.  Pop culture references from early 90s r us?  No?

But the title today refers to the fact that Sir is a wargames fan, or should that be fanatic, with the little figurines and such.  He spent a good portion of last night painting up a squad of them.  And from what I saw, he had only painted the weapons, for a grand total of about three hours work.

I cut my finger while preparing dinner last night, yes, I had my first cooking experiment in Nigella's kitchen, and, apart from one of the boys saying the potato cakes were a bit spicy (there was chili and curry powder in there), the food was very well regarded.  But yes, anyways, I cut my finger on one of the knives, and after a plaster failed to work, Sir SUPERGLUED the cut together.  Just like one of his model kit soldiers lol.

And it was interesting in a way, both when the initial plaster went on, and the supergluing about half to three quarters of an hour later, Mistress and Sir both hovered around me and showed concern, attention, and all the rest.  With the superglue, Sir was the only one actually repairing me, but Mistress came into the bathroom and I dunno, gave me moral support or something.  I have NEVER felt this cared for in all my adult life.

And then when Sir said to Mistress about keeping track of maintenance of toys, I almost collapsed into a ball of squee, and all the subby emotions that keep raging to jump out of me.  I closed my eyes and I had a huge grin on my face, and since I was facing Mistress at the time, when I 'came to' she was smiling at me as well.

Though I find it fairly easy to make her smile, giggle and all the rest.

What else happened with the day?  Oh, it was nice when Sir was painting the figurines, I was in my 'kitchen spot' as I call it, as opposed to my favoured 'study spot'.  If I had been in the study spot, I wouldn't have been able to see Mistress, who was humming away to herself, baking in the kitchen.  So Sir was doing that, Mistress was baking, and I was just enjoying 'the serenity'.  Yes, the kids had gone to bed by this stage lol.  And we had the music on, and there was just quiet discussion about music tastes and the like.  Quiet domesticity, who woulda thunk it for me.

And earlier in the day, had been gardening with Mistress, grocery shopping with Sir (well, I was doing the shopping, he was sending texts to work), and cleaning the bathroom, hanging the laundry out, and helping Mistress out as much as I humanly could.  And the funniest thing is, I am HAPPY doing all this - I have never really been domesticated in the past, either with my family, by myself or in previous relationships.  Is weird, but awesome at the same time.
