Decade One

[radegund]

It's ten years today since my friend and flatmate, niallm, put words on the baroque tempest of emotion in which the two of us had been whirling since we'd moved in together eight days previously. (We hadn't seen it coming, although some of our friends had.) "You do realise," he said, as he sat on my bed at 9:20 that sleety Monday morning, "You do know that I'm falling slowly in love with you."

And I said, "Me too. Except in my case it hasn't been slow."

It's also four years today since we officially informed the State how things stood. Good parties, they were.

We went out yesterday evening for dinner (just the two of us! We were able to finish sentences and everything!), and this morning I made flapjacks OF TEH GODS as a small celebration. And my parents served champagne before Sunday lunch.

Looks like we're good for another ten years, anyway. Which is nice.

Hey, I don't think I realised you two were so closely timed to us two - I've always assumed you'd been together much longer. Perhaps I will forget and go on assuming that, anyway. You always seem so togetherish.

Congratulations, and well done, also.

Yay for wonderful anniversaries! (And congratulations, of course, also on the complete sentences.)

Good stuff! We're coming up to nine years next month :-)

Nice one! And another few tens after that, I'm sure!

Congratulations! It will be 11 years since Ludo and I got together on March 1st (though in our case counting has become complicated).

Tell me this and tell me no more: when will you hear from the AC about the bursary?

Love B

Thanks!

14 weeks from the closing date. So it'll be early March before I can legitimately stand on my balcony clutching a lace handkerchief and straining to see the dust-cloud kicked up by the messenger's horse. Am trying not to hope. Must acquire lace handkerchief.
