Yesterday, after being away for three months working in Australia, we finally, finally, FINALLY welcomed The Man home.
Like all good parents, The Man was anxious to make up for his long absence via the universal children's language of crap-food-present-giving. His luggage was packed to capacity with Australian delicacies such as Cheezels:
Tim Tams - both original and the new life enhancing caramel version:

And of course, commercial quantities of cheese Twisties:
There were also Minties, but naturally there was a frenzied Minties scramble before I could get the shot.
Observant readers will notice the lack of Vegemite. Foolishly, The Man prefers Marmite and refuses to spend precious luggage weight on the superior Australian product. Damn him.

Is this why there is suddenly a Tim Tam shortage over here! All we can get are the mint ones.
ReplyDeleteMint Tim Tams? What happened to good old Mint Slices? Please don't tell me they've stopped making them!!
ReplyDeleteIf only my 'husband à l'etranger' could be so organised. He succeeded in buying vaste quantities of chocolate but forgot to put it in his suitcase. Since he doesn't actually like chocolate himself it was no good to man nor beast remaining in Nigeria. Well done 'The Man' and great banner kids!
ReplyDeleteAh, but did you get a present? I got (wait for it) Chux wipes. Two packs. In blue. To be fair, it was all that I asked for as I wept down the phone most evenings. "At least" sob sob "then I could" gulp gulp of wine "clean up a bit" howl with exhaustion.
