The mornings are getting darker. This weekend the clocks go back for the winter, in England. So that means that tomorrow morning we get "an extra hour" in bed. Sadly we will soon get used to it and will lose the benefit. I also hate the fact that the nights will seem so much longer.
This morning I got up quite early for a Friday. It was far too cold to dash downstairs without a robe. I stamped my feet whilst waiting for the kettle to boil. I noticed that Dan had bought in a supply of "luxury drinking chocolate" in readiness for the evenings ahead.
It's strange how we both view drinking chocolate with on-coming colder weather.
I took Dan a "Gingernut" biscuit with his tea. Gingernuts are his favourite "everyday" biscuit. They are probably the only biscuits you can "dunk" in boiling hot drinks, that don't fall apart; they hold their shape beautifully. (Nothing better than dunking biscuits!)
I also dropped a heap of large envelopes containing cards on the bed between us, and started to sing, sotto voce, an old song by the Beatles before sidling up to Dan and rubbing his right foot with my left.
Dan finished his tea and put the mug down carefully on his bedside table, before pulling me over his lap. I sooooo love skin to skin spankings. They are the best, but I was soon sent to fetch the Little Nipper. I did protest at first that everyone else's husbands got the implements themselves, but Dan immediately lifted his eyebrows at me.
"I like the Nipper. My arm doesn't get tired using it and I like the patterns I can make with it."
Ha!
I resettled myself and he began with a warm up that didn't seem nearly long enough.
"Are we counting yet?" I enquired after he had planted at least eleven snappy swats on my chilly and tender flesh.
"No, you can start now," he replied.
"One, two, three, four...."
"....twenty three, twenty four, twenty five...."
"....Ow! Ow! Ow!....thirty seven, Ow! thirty eight, Ow! thirty nine..."
"Fifty...Dan, oh God, Dan!, Ow! fifty one...."
"Stop, stop, stop. I can't, ouch! stop! Ow!"
"Oh bugger!"
"Too high, too high!"
"And one to grow on." Splat!
"Stupid custom! You really thought I would want a birthday spanking?!"
"Happy Birthday, Dan," I tell him.
I really believe I may have taken submission to a new and higher level. After all, how many wives take their husbands birthday spankings for them?
"When it comes to a spanking in this house, you are going to be the only recipient," I am told in no uncertain terms.
That is very submissive of you! Please wish your husband a happy birthday for me, I hope he had a great one..sounds like he did!
ReplyDeleteThis post really makes me want hot chocolate and cake :)
Hugs!!
Thank you, Dan had a very good weekend despite grumbling about being a year older.
DeleteThere isn't a lot that is much better on a birthday than hot chocolate and rich Devil's food cake!

Ami
Hi Ami, Happy Birthday Dan!! I take my husbands birthday spankings too, I thought it was compulsory for wives in this life ;). I am looking forward to this weeks Sunday lie in and I do quite like Winter, bring it on
ReplyDeletelove Jan,xx
Thank you, Jan. I think this is yet another fact about TTWD that I hadn't considered before. It certainly woke me up in a hurry!
DeleteOh, how could you like winter?! Yuck! All that cold and damp....
Still, hot chocolate and cake can be a cure for everything.
Hugs
Ami
You are not alone, I always take Nick's birthday spankings and he is much older than Dan! Also I have to keep in mind that I'm reading someone from England when you say biscuits, I have to realize you are talking about a cookie and not a biscuit as we think of them. Here Biscuits are to pour hot sausage gravy over or filled with butter and maybe jelly. I'm sure they are delicious on either side of the Pond. And a big happy birthday to Dan.
ReplyDeleteI cannot envisage biscuits with gravy on them, LOL! But I think they are what we call 'cobbler'. Or savoury scones placed on top of a casserole. Biscuits over here tend to be the everyday, bought from shops variety, whereas cookies are posher and often handmade/home made. Aren't recipes from other countries fascinating? I love the food in the US! In fact, I love the food in most places!
DeleteAnd thank you for Dan's birthday wishes.
Hugs
Ami
Welcome to the club...i take Master's birthday spankings....It all sounds like a wonderful way to start the day.
ReplyDeletehugs abby
Thanks, Abby. I am just beginning to realise it's a club. Funny how no-one every tells me anything. They all wait for me to find out - and then they hoot with laughter!
DeleteAnd it was a very good way to start the day - but a bit too much of a good thing in a way. I could've done with half the number! LOL
Hugs
Ami
Happy Birthday to Dan.
ReplyDeleteI'm another one who takes a birthday spanking, regardless of whose :)
The dark nights... glum moment. I like adding a drop of amarula to the hot chocolate, makes it extra warming. Biscuit dunking, yum. My girls dunk Rich Tea in their hot chocolate.
hugs
DF
Good grief - another one! "Regardless of whose" LOL
DeleteI love the sound of adding a drop of amarula to the hot chocolate. I didn't think you could still buy it. I must have a look in the local supermarket.
Yea for Rich Tea biscuits. I like Digestives as well - but they do disintegrate quicker than Gingernuts!
Hugs
Ami
LOL, Ami better stay sweet or Dan may give you someone else's birthday spanking too. Mine is just around the corner but I'm looking forward to that one ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Dan
LOL! You just may be right! I am thinking, though, that perhaps your birthday won't have such a high number of spanks, LOL!
DeleteDan does have a tendency to get carried away sometimes when he has that stingy spatula in his hand.
Thank you for Dan's birthday wishes.
Hugs Ami
I see that happening here on my Scotsman's Birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Dan!! Enjoy every minute!!
Well, of course, we all know that you will deserve it being the little minx that you are. LOL!
DeleteThanks for Dan's birthday wishes, he certainly had a good weekend.
Hugs
Ami
Happy birthday to your beloved, Ami! We don't know "birthday spankings", but what I understand of it, it is quite a custom over the big waters. All the guys are the same huh, dishing out, but not the other way around,
ReplyDeleteI think you wouldn't like it much either. We have tried it three times.
It hurts.
Love your post,
Thanks for putting my blog in your list,
Han
Thank you so much, Han. Birthday spankings are only something I have known since we embarked on our TTWD journey. Over here in England, we have the custom of giving someone "The Bumps", which is probably much worse depending upon how you view things.
DeleteI enjoyed the beginning of the spanking, but as it went on, and on, and on, I was very much on the wriggly side. Yes - it hurt! A bit too much! LOL
I love reading your posts, Han, but am sorry I don't manage to read them every day.
Hugs
Ami
Ami,
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful way to start a special day!!
Meredith
Although unexpected, as usual, it was a great day and a great weekend. Even the sun shone!

Amy: I would love to follow your blog. It is beautifully done, but the backgroundmakes it incredibly hard to read. Would you consider changing the color of your words to white perhaps so they are more easily readable? Just a
ReplyDeleteRequest not a critisisim. Just want to enjoy your full postings!
Hi Annabelle. I am sorry you are having trouble reading my blog. If I changed my words to white, I wouldn't be able to read them myself, unfortunately, but are there any other colours you would be able to read? I stopped using traditional black print as one of my friends here has difficulty with black on white. I am open to ideas.

Ami
Very cute post Ami and no, you are not the only one who receives his and hers birthday spankings! Are you sitting gently? *snicker*
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Dan! Wishing you a wonderful day and coming year!
Hugs and Blessings...
Cat
Yes, as usual it seems I am the last to find out about the "real" significance of birthday spankings! LOL
DeleteMy bum is much better now thanks - but I ate breakfast sitting on a cushion! That stupid spatula stings like a hornet
Thank you for Dan's birthday wishes.
Hugs
Ami
very sweet...happy birthday to your Dan... :-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terps. The years keep rolling by!

Ami
Happy Belated Birthday to Dan. Hope he had a great day. I take P's birthday spanking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding about the clocks going back:( I tend to dunk bourbons.
Love,
Ronnie
xx
Thanks, Ronnie. I'll bet you don't get any where near the number I got! LOL!
Delete(Now giggling about you and the clocks!)
Bourbons are good too. What I hate is when you forget how long you have had your biscuit immersed, and when you lift it out the bottom half has disappeared into your mug!
Hugs
Ami
Wait! You get spanked on your husband's birthday? I didn't know some DD wives did that...apparently a lot based on the comments...I'm still in the "learning" stage. Do me a favor, please do NOT pass this information to Crush...don't want to be giving him any ideas, lol! ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Happy Birthday to Dan (a day late...maybe two days late with the time difference). I hope you both had a wonderful time together (it sounds like it was a great beginning).
Hugs,
Amy
Hi Amy! Oh wait, don't be unnerved by us 'oldies'! Believe me, I didn't know I was going to get spanked on Dan's birthday until it happened, and I have to admit I really liked it.
DeleteWe don't really do DD, only on the very odd occasion (after all, I am always perfect!) so he purposely chose a 'stingy' implement and not one of the horrid wooden stupid things.
Seriously, the main thing to remember is how much fun this can all be. Especially when you never know what is going to happen from one day to another! LOL!
Thank you very much for Dan's birthday wishes. We had a very good weekend (his mother's birthday is the day after his) with lots of family visiting and lots of eating! Hurray for cake and chocolate!
Hugs
Ami
A belated Happy Birthday to Dan! Hope he had a wonderful day ... sounds like a great start to the day :) we don't always do birthday spankings here.
ReplyDeleteI love gingernuts, they really are the best for dunking. I suddenly have a craving for gingernuts and chocolate cake :)
Our clocks have gone forward for spring and I'm loving the longer days. The weather is being fickle at the moment though. Typical spring weather.
Hugs
Roz
Thanks very much, Roz. It was a really good weekend. Even the weather co-operated for once.
DeleteI wondered if it was only the Brits who dunked - obviously not! Ginger and chocolate go so well together don't they?
Lucky you with spring to look forwards to. It is now dark here by 6 o'clock. I just hate the long winter evenings. The best thing about them is the roaring log fires we have.
I can recommend birthday spankings now that I have had one or two of them. LOL!
Hugs
Ami
