| Let me at this late stage introduce the others: James and Anna. They are 22 and their parents live in Carlise. I met them in New Zealand on my DTS. They met at Durham. James studied Physics, Anna studied English and Classics. We work very well together. We all like Scrabble and are equally matched. They are engaged to be married in April. Lucia and i will be getting married (God willing) late in May. So we have a lot of conversations that would probably bore people to death. Anna is amazing at bargaining and always gets us good deals on accommodation and food. James is fantastic at reading guide books and organising good stuff to do. (Incidentally my personality type, ``Performer`` is the least likely to read a guide book according to the bbc website). So i value James abilities highly. Lucia loves talking to strangers and making friends with people. I´m quite cool too. Basically this is a brief list of examples of how we are different, thankfully, and flow well together. We have laughs. Recently Lucia and i went a day ahead somewhere in Brazil to meet some people and we actively missed the others. It was the first night we´d been apart since the 15th of September. We do a lot of lending eachother money and doing eachother´s washing. We have our stuff in common. I´ve found myself refering to my knife and plate as the knife and plate. It is a subtle, but important difference. We have nights for couples sometimes. It´s all good. |
