[360/365] boxing day
Dec. 26th, 2021 10:24 pmJoys 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.
