It takes more strength to admit that you’re treating herself it appears.

All the best to you.

Myself and herself took a half day today. She’s getting her nails done - unsurprisingly I’m having a pint. She’ll join me after.

Probably some food later. Her folks may be joining us. I have no problem with that as they are sound. We both gave each other cards last night, both of us overcompensating for possibly forgetting.

The sun is shining. Life isn’t bad at all.

I would’ve thought that a modern man like you would show your lovely wife how much you love her all year round, mate.

anon61878697:

The surname Guinness is derived from Mag Aongus; meaning son of Aongus who in mythology was a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann who in turn was a god of love, youth and poetic inspiration. In translation Aon = one and gus = choice thus translating as “one choice” but more accurately translated as ‘chosen one’. In Irish orthography “Mac” meaning “son of” changes to “Mag” when the following name begins with a vowel. When the name is vocalised in speech it sounds like Ma’gaon-gus or ma’gan-gus which in turn is phonetically rendered to English as MacGuinness. During the 17th century under pressure from the English authorities many Irish families dropped the prefix “Mac” to make their name sound more English;. In the case of “Mag” the “Ma” part was dropped erroneously leaving the ‘g’ attached to the original surname. Other examples include Geraghty, Garrity, Getty, Geoghegan, Gawley and many more. Variant spellings of Aongus include Óengus Aonghus, Angus and Aengus.

The proprietor of the Guinness brewery Benjamin Lee Guinness chose the harp motif in 1862 and registered it as a trademark shortly after the passing of the Trade Marks Registration Act of 1875. Could Benjamin’s choice of logo have been influenced by the Aongus stories?

Great stuff.
