rosamicula used to send Andrew and I a card this time of year. She asked for my address the other day and this year's card just arrived. I think she knows less about my living situation now so I think she didn't have their names of the people I live with to add to the card. So it's addressed "To Erik and henchpersons."
I love that. I struggle sometimes to explain how I live with my partner and his other partner. I might just start saying "henchpersons." (
mother_bones said she likes the idea of being a henchperson. "After all it's a job that comes with the best benefit; petting Gary.")
So the henchpersons went grocery shopping while I was at work, because they are heroes. I was asked questions and randomly updated by text as they went through the Big Tesco.
One of the texts was "Oh God, Lynx have a new deodorant scent "Leather and Cookies" and I hate myself for thinking that sounds quite nice actually." I thought that too! I said I would totally try it. So
diffrentcolours got it for me, saying it's an essential part of my British teenage boy experience. It doesn't smell like either of those things but I don't hate it!
