aryanhwy...and it's amazing.
Yesterday morning, a schoolfriend's mom picked Gwen up and took her and N. to T.'s house, where both Gwen and N. had been invited to spend the night. Gwen has been asking to go on or to have someone come over for a sleep over for six months or so, so she was SO EXCITED. Monday night involved packing an overnight bag (I got to decide whether I should send her to the sleepover with a "Computability in Europe" bag from the Azores or a "Indian Conference on Logic and Applications" bag from Delhi. We opted for the former; it was a better size.)
Mid afternoon yesterday T.'s mom texted us a few pictures of the girls playing outside (an amazingly sunny day whereas it's been mostly rainy for the last week or so), and it was so weird when 5pm rolled around and I didn't have to rush off to get her from wherever. Instead, I hung out at my office until Joel was done working, and then he met me there and we went out for supper. There's a pub/hotel on North Road that has been recommended to us for its food, so we decided to try it. We split a partridge and pear starter, and then I had venison with gin-soaked blackberries and girolles, and he had a sort of "exploded fish pie" (as he described it) -- all very good. We didn't stay for dessert because they needed our table for a reservation, so instead we went over to the Elm Tree because we know they have good sticky toffee pudding. I was too full for dessert, so I just had a G&T instead. We had a lovely time lingering over it, and then walked home.
We were home before 9pm. We are such losers. :)
Joel then showed me a whole bunch of websites selling skirting boards, and finished up his taxes. As he commented "we are old and boring". But as I replied, "we are old and boring TOGETHER." I would rather be old and boring with him than young and exciting on my own.
This morning, I didn't have to set my alarm. I slept until nearly 9am and was still out at the office by 9:20.
Late in the afternoon T.'s mom texted that the girls were covered in mud and picking conkers, and that she'd feed them and then bring them home. When it's just me, if I leave the office at 16:55, I'm home by 17:05. It's amazing.
I could get used to this.
