[360/365] boxing day

[cosmolinguist]

Joys of pandemic times mean I've been dating someone for...two...and a half? years now but this Boxing Day is, thanks to a slew of negative LFTs, my first Event with his family.

I'd met his mum a few times and his sister once or twice, but when his mum and her boyfriend came to visit us in the summer I could tell from the kinds of questions I was getting asked that I'd been upgraded to partner-levels of concern which is nice. I want them to like me, I'm trying to be nice and helpful and stuff.

It's been so nice to be in a different place (I think this will be my fifth night of 2021 that I spend somewhere other than my own bed).

And if you want a lot of different conversations happening to you, possibly all at once in the most delightful way, I can suggest the company of a clever, kind, astute eight-year-old.

Yes! Very much this.

I hope your visit continues to go well. *hug*

It sounds like it was a good Event.

And yes, a clever, kind, astute eight year-old is an excellent conversational companion.
