Her Better Half or...


 

In my years of living in Argentina, Texas, Mexico and Canada I am always amazed of some of the language differences when I compare them.

In Mexico your marriage partner or partner is humorously called “mi pior es nada”. That translates to “My worse is nothing”


 

Here in Canada we are a lot more respectful and our spouse is known as “My better half.

I cannot speak on Brenda Viney’s partner and give an opinion as do not know him well. He has always been a lovely host when I visit Brenda’s garden. While he does not seem to be a gardener I can attest  that there is no way that Brenda can handle all her garden chores (her garden is huge with very little lawn). Al must come to the rescue frequently.


 

Al has two other talents that I have been able to note. He has a very good taste for single malts. He has shared some with me. Al is also a damn good artist. Here are some examples. I chose to photograph them in my garden that is beginning to show a soon riot of roses in bloom.

I have one question. I wonder if Al shares his valuable single malt with her?
