Frosty atmos..

One of Philippa’s friends invited us over for a ‘dinner party’ last night. There were eight of us (four couples) and most of us hadn’t met before, so we played some ice-breaking games and drank some wine before sitting down for a nice meal. It’s one of those events that I would have repelled from in the past, but I find myself enjoying them with Philippa. All in all it was a very nice evening.
Until..
After Irish coffees, we played a game where everyone had to write down 5 words which best describe their partner. You also, on another piece of paper, had to describe yourself in 5 words. Then we all read them out and if one of your words for your partner matched what they’d written themselves you got a point. The couple with the most points would win a bottle of champagne.
The words I put down for Philippa were BEAUTIFUL, SEXY, KIND, TALENTED, SPORTY. The words she put for me were CARING, MOODY, LAZY, LOVELY, LOVABLE.
One of the other couples were a bank manager called Tim and his stay-at-home wife Samantha. When she had to read out her 5 words to describe him, she’d written “He’s a big fat c**t”
I don’t think she’d quite grasped the concept of the game, do you?
Philippa and I came second, by the way.
