Normal Service resumed

So, as M has written, I was ill for really quite a long time.  In fact I still have an annoying cough even now.

M maintains that I was very lazy during this period. I agree that my service level was low, but I protest a little. Even when at home ill, I had the evening meal ready when she came home each evening and I prepared the yoghurt, berries and muesli that she takes to work each day for breakfast.

I admit that my attentiveness was reduced and I did not go down on my knees each day, as usual, to thank her for the opportunity to serve her. In any event, this week has seen a return to normality.

As M has outlined, I was again on my hands and knees at the start of the week and this has now continued each day.

Yesterday, I delayed going to work for 20 minutes to deal with all the laundry that was hanging out to dry. I knew M would be home from work before me and I didn't want her to have to look at, or tidy up, the laundry.

As it happened, when she came home, she immediately went to the laundry to deal with it and was surprised but delighted to see it gone. She told me so immediately I got home. This was very motivating to hear. One thing that has grown, in my side of our FLR, is a need for affirmation from M. I now crave it to be honest and it is one of the things that drives my service level and attitude.

I have had to work longer hours in the office recently to catch up for my illness. As a result, my "credit" balance of hours worked came to an end. I was 6 hours over my contract at the end of the week. That meant 6 spanks. After preparing the evening meal and then clearing up afterwards I went upstairs and changed into my punishment clothes. The main item is underwear that resembles a ballet tutu.

M chose to use the riding crop that she bought at Christmas. However, while it hurt, it was generally ineffective. I felt she was frustrated and she later confirmed this, so I offered to receive them again.

It is not that I want them, but I am still , mentally, trying to make up for my recent laziness and am looking for ways to gain her approval. Of course she agreed. The truth is, she could have decided this herself anyway. In any event, I fear it will be the wooden spoon today, an implement I live in fear of.

We had planned to go cycling today as the forecast was for a rise in temperatures, but we woke up instead to a blanket of snow. I lit the fire and prepared breakfast. I think we will have a day inside today instead, except for some grocery shopping. M has also instructed me to clean up one of the basement rooms. That will keep me busy for a while.

Last night in bed, M teased me and edged me to the limit of my frustration. As a result I am addicted to her today. When she engages me in this way, she is impossible to resist and she occupies a major part of my thoughts.

Finally healthy again . Endlich wieder gesund!

Hanna musste 7 Tage Antibiotika nehmen. Das hat sie sehr geschwaecht. Von Serviceorientiertheit und Untergebenheit was nichts mehr zu spueren. Ich war sehr frustriert. Das Problem war, dass es ihr so schlecht ging, dass ich sie nich dafur strafen konnte.

Aber diese Zeit hat mich gelehrt, dass ich ohne FLR Beziehung nicht mehr leben koennte.

Heute frueh endlich!  Mir ist heute frueh im Badezimmer der Kajalstift heruntergefallen. Ich sagte Hanna sie soll ihn aufheben. Als sie auf allen vieren war, dachte ich, ENDLICH!!!. Da Bliebst die erstmal. Sie musste sich ganz lange dafur entschuldigen, dass sie in der letzten Zeit so faul war.

Die faule Zeit ist nun vorbei.

M

Hanna had to take antibiotics for 7 days. That has weakened her a lot. I noticed her lack of service orientation and sub demeanor. I was very frustrated. My problem was that she was feeling so tired that I could not really punish her.

But that time has also taught me that I can not live without an FLR relationship.

Finally, this morning! ... I lost my coal pencil in the bathroom. I told Hanna to pick it up. When she was on all fours, I thought, FINALLY !!!. "Stay there for a while" I said! She had to stay down there and apologize for a long time for being so lazy lately.

The lazy time is over now!!

M

Happy Valentine's Day

O.K.  ... apologies ...  not very original .... and a day late to boot ... but there is a reason. Life has a habit of getting in the way sometimes.

I am laid low with bronchitis. Friends had visited me from overseas for a long weekend of skiing (the snow is amazing this year). Unfortunately one of them showed up with a bad cough, which she said had followed the 'flu and had persisted now for two weeks. Great. With friends like that who needs enemies.

Sure enough on the second night I was awake at 4am coughing violently with blocked sinuses and headache.

To add to matters, the trip back home on Tuesday, which should have taken 4 hours, took 7 hours because of a motorway closure following an accident. It was 11PM when a very sick and exhausted Hanna arrived home.

M had not gone skiing this weekend. She was very concerned for me as I travelled back, as she realized how sick I was. She stayed up late to help me unpack the car.

So on Valentine's day I dragged myself out of the bed early to go to a doctor that M had contacted. Getting a doctor as a recent immigrant in Germany is no easy matter. I am not "on the books" of any local doctor and they are all full. Ageing population profile I suppose.

Anyway, one doctor agreed to see me as an exception when M informed them that I had a fever (not strictly true, but I was running a high temperature).  Antibiotics and a week off work were prescribed. Back home, I slept a good part of Valentine's day thereafter.

When she got home, M made a big pot of delicious homemade soup for me, so that I don't have to cook during the days ahead. There is enough to last for a few days.

Later she gave me lacy black underwear with a red bow as my Valentine's day present. She also gave me a padded bra (pictures to follow at some stage).

This is the first time she has bought me a padded one. She could see I was shocked. She said simply, we have to "up things" a notch or two from time to time. She had me try it on. I had cleavage! 😲 "Wear the right sweater and people will not really notice",  she said, "but you will be wearing it". Unlike the episode with the blue jacket, I simply thanked her this time.

Speaking of the blue sleeveless jacket, I wore it out in public to the restaurant each evening at the weekend. My mini rebellion, it seems, is behind me. 😳

So on the health front, I feel a bit stronger today, despite still coughing a lot. I now have a very sore throat from the constant coughing though.

The last time that I was a week off work, ill, was all of 25 years ago, so I can't complain. I have had a very good run, on the health front.

Hanna

Light blue!

I was shopping for groceries today when I saw the same sleeveless jacket in light blue. The dark blues were gone. I thought "OK, Strafe muss sein". She will get a light blue now.

So I bought the same jacket in light blue.She wore it and complained. Without a reason I think. It does not look more or less female than the darker one. I really think it suits her very well. She is a winter type and it suits her .

What do you think?  :-)

M

Humble pie

Like every relationship, things don't always go smoothly.

Having closed and published the last blog post, I continued to complain somewhat about the sleeveless jacket. "Right!" said M, "I have heard enough". Up she got , packed it away quickly in the original packing and said. "I'm bring it back tomorrow. You can buy one out of your own money."

Now those of you who have read about our financial arrangements will realise that I have in fact very little money. A replacement will cost €15, quite an outlay for me.

I immediately felt terrible, because I could see that she was very unhappy. I pleaded with her not to return it but she ended the conversation there and then and we went to bed as it was already late.

Next day, I decided the only way to redress the situation was to buy the exact same jacket myself. However, there were none left in my size when I went to the shop. On the way home I bought a bunch of roses for M, to add to my apology.

We were again skiing at the weekend. M is not a big skier but she comes sometimes to keep me company. The snow is amazing at the moment so it was great to ski Saturday and Sunday. The trip takes over 3 hours each way however, so it is a haul. On the return journey we drove for 100km in an absolute blizzard. At least this time I did not forget to pack anything important.

Tonight M found a slightly different sleeveless jacket for me on Amazon. Slightly more expensive too, not that that is her problem. There will be no argument about this one. We both know it. I just have to swallow my pride.

Dressing up for M

I decided to cycle to work again today. As I heard our neighbor scrape ice from his windscreen I wondered if that was still a good idea!. It was just above freezing. In any event, I got to work still in one piece, if a little cold.

Cycling always leads to a later arrival home in the evening as the journey by bike is about half an hour longer than driving. When I got in M was very stressed. She had a busy day at work, and had a list of things to do after work, most of which I should have done, shopping, laundry and car washing among them. In addition she had problems with an online booking and was kept waiting on helplines trying to sort the mess.

I did my best to cheer her up as I made the evening meal. In the end, everything was sorted ad she could finally relax on the sofa and watch some TV. Just as I was getting ready to go upstairs to change from my cycling clothes, she called me back.

"I had to do so much of your work because you were late home" she said. I protested (politely) that she could have left the tasks and I would have had to do them anyway. But she was not happy with that. She thought for a minute and said "I need cheering up. OK...go and get changed , but I want you to dress up really nicely for me....make a real effort to look your very best, and I want you to use make-up on your face too". That is something she never said before and something I never did before.

So I did as she asked. It took me quite a while. Foundation, eye shadow, mascara, lipstick.  I put on heels and a leather skirt with a red top and a matching red and black scarf.  She approved and it cheered her up. She had me stand there for a few minutes, occasionally chuckling as she watched her TV show.

She then showed me a "Steppweste" , a quilted vest, that she had bought for me in shopping.  I had asked for one as I am sometimes a bit cold in the office. However I had expected a man's vest. Instead, she bought the female one.You can see the exact picture to the side. She claims it is almost the same, but to me it has a very female cut. I pleaded with her that I not wear it in work. She will decide tomorrow. I am not happy.

Having read the blog post , she told me to ask for readers opinions and she will take these into account in making her decision so please let me know what you think.

Something forgotten! Etwas vergessen.

We travelled to the mountains over the weekend to go skiing. Hanna forgot to bring one of her bras. We were both very stressed out with work but that's not an acceptable excuse. As a punishment she had to wear with one of my bras all weekend. Cup C and therefore far too big. She can feel lucky that I just brought my sports bras. M

Wir sind uebers Wochende zum Skilaufen in die Berge gefahren. Hanna hat vergessen, einen ihrer BHs mitzubringen. Wir waren beide von der Arbeit ziemlich gestresst. Aber das ist keine Entschuldigung. Als Strafe musste sie dann das ganze Wochenende mit einem meiner BHs rumlaufen. Cup C und daher viel zu gross. Sie kann von Glueck sagen, dass ich nur meine Sportsbras mitgebracht habe. M

Suffering with M

As recounted by M in her post last month" Surprise Shopping Trip", she decided to buy me a 5 pack set of thong panties to wear on the days she has her period. It is meant to engender a bit more sympathy.

So Monday, Tuesday and today I have been wearing them. I hope tomorrow will be the last day.  We have a long weekend planned to kick off our skiing this year and that would not be the most comfortable attire :-).

M has allowed me 2 weeks without nail varnish on my toenails. After 8 weeks they were extremely brittle and cracked.

We are both still busy in work but less hectic than at the start of the month. I am doing well in curbing my working hours and I hope to escape and punishment on Friday. M tried out her riding crop on Monday night. Just two swats. I get credit for them against my next punishment! The pain was different to the wooden spoon. I think the latter is sorer. We will see. I might change my mind when she gets the hang of the crop.

With friends at a restaurant. Restaurantbesuch mit Freunden

Am Samstag waren wir mit Freunden in einem Restaurant. Es war sehr laut, weil Live-Musik war. Ich habe kurzerhand beschlossen, alles fuer Hanna zu bestellen. Das Getraenk, das Hauptgericht, das Dessert. Am Ende kam die Kellnerin und fragte Hanna, ob sie noch etwas bestellen wolle. Ich sagte, nein, nichts mehr. Spaeter fragte die Kellnerin dann Hanna persoenlich, ob sie nicht doch noch mal etwas fuer sie selbst bestellen wolle. Hanna sagte natuerlich gehorsam "nein". Das fand ich sehr gut. Bezahlt habe ich natuerlich auch. Unsere Freunde, die nicht wissen, dass wir eine FLR-Beziehung haben, haben sich sehr gewundert.

M.

On Saturday we were in a restaurant with friends. There was live music so it was loud and somewhat difficult to talk without shouting. I spontaneously decided to order everything for Hanna; the drink, the main course, the dessert. In the end, the waitress came and asked Hanna if she wanted to order anything else. I answered instead, "no, nothing more". Later, the waitress returned and asked Hanna personally if she would like to order something for herself. Of course Hanna obediently said "no". That pleased me. Of course, I also paid. Our friends, who do not know that we have an FLR relationship, were very surprised.

Weekend away

M and I have been somewhat swamped in our respective jobs in the first two weeks of January. So it was with some reluctance that we agreed to return to my home country at short notice last weekend, accepting an invitation to a birthday celebration. Taking yesterday off work was a stretch for us both. In fact we have both worked very long days today to catch back up.

All that said, we had a really nice weekend away and M met two of my sisters for the first time. We were in a gastropub on Sunday with my sister and her hubby. It was not so warm, in fact it was decidedly chilly. So after about 10 minutes M told me to walk around and see what other seats were free.

I came back to tell her there was  a free table at the other side to which she replied..."and is it warmer there ?" I had no idea. So she sent me back with the instruction to wait a minute and report back if it was warmer (which it was, marginally).  What my sister made of all of this, I have no idea. I did not ask!

Next day, as M and I took a stroll together, she handed me her handbag to carry as it was heavy and she could not be bothered anymore. So for the next 20 minutes we walked along together with me carrying her handbag.

Not much else to report, except seven edgings Sunday morning that drove me wild! She also had one contraceptive pill left over which she gave to me to swallow!

It will be a very busy few weeks for us both until the end of January but we will try to blog nevertheless. In any case, I am likely to be over my contracted work hours again and M is itching to use her new riding crop!

Hanna

No spanking tonight

On many Friday evenings I get a spanking. At the end of the week, if I have not curbed my workaholic tendencies, I get one hard blow of the wooden spoon for each hour I worked over the contract. It is usually between four and six but on the odd week it can be more.

Thankfully  at present I am in "credit". I have a minus balance of four hours having taken a "time in lieu" day at the end of December. In any event, spanking would be impossible today as M woke up  with a very sore arm. She feels she must have slept in an awkward position. In any event raising her right arm is very painful. Using her new riding crop will have to wait.

So tonight will be a night of home therapy. Light massage, ultrasound, infra red sauna and tiger balm. In fact I developed a back spasm on holidays that was not getting better and M has been helping me with this, all of this week, with some success. So now it turns 180 degrees and she needs my help more.

We were both back to work this week and it was a very stressful week for us both in our respective offices.  We are both "kaputt".  The weekend is welcome. As they say here... "Hoch die Haende, Wochenende"!

I am beginning to come back from my orgasm of a week ago. It definitely changes how I feel and it takes a while to get fully back in service mode. That said, I have continued to carry my allotted load...such as evening meals. That is expected by us both.
