returned

Surprises are one of my favourite things in the whole world. Not so much receiving them, more planning them for someone I love and then seeing them feel happy. [love that!]

My Lovely One has been a bit flat of late. Just doing heaps of stuff for other people and not doing enough of the stuff for himself that lights him up inside.

So I planned a surprise. I organised to drop Our Little One off early on Monday morning, to spend the day with one of her favourite people. And then I whisked my man away for our own day of hanging out and doing great stuff. We treated ourselves to beautiful coffee and almond croissants in the sun. We went to cheap.monday.movies [oh lordy! the film was so good, I almost broke into the Ugly Cries]. We held hands. We went out and had a long lunch and talked about stuff [you know: a real, adult conversation.] And then we had an afternoon sleep.

It was heaven. Just what we both needed [to return us, to ourselves].
