Christmas is a lot easier to organise when you and your partner work the same hours and have all your evenings together. And to think I was worried that Philippa and I might get sick of each other once we were spending more time together. So far it’s been wonderful.
It’s a bit early to be saying this, but I’m quite liking the idea of staying in this house and trying to buy it if the Bannermans go ahead and stay in Australia. Why shop around for a decent place to live when we have one in our laps already? As I stride into my thirties it’s nice to feel settled and happy and content and at home. Philippa has a bit of a drive to work but it doesn’t seem to be bothering her. I’m normally home just before her so I get some tea on the go and she comes in to find a cup of tea or glass of wine waiting, and the spell of a crap meal emanating from Rory’s Amateur Kitchen. Once a week or so she texts me to suggest she brings in a take-away, and we have discussed the idea of getting one of those slow-cooker thingmys so we can put food on before we leave in the morning and have it ready when we come in at night.
Hmmm, I may have just worked out what to get Philippa for Christmas…
