Lyn came up to visit me yesterday afternoon. She drove all the way up from London just to spend a few hours with me – it was the sweetest thing, and I’ll certainly be working on finding a way to repay the complement. The fact is, we do not spend enough time with each other -how can we when we live 200 miles apart?

Anyway it was a great evening. Lyn bought me some shoes and scents; I bought the wine, pizza and stuffed potatoes. I know it doesn’t seem fair and now I feel guilty about not buying her anything. We put some music on (I have got Lyn into Cat Empire) and spent the time chatting. I tried on my new shoes, which more or less fit, then Zita, Lyn’s PA, took some photos of us together. I think photos are very important to a relationship – they kind of cement it, make it more real. We then spent some quality time together.

It all went too quickly, and too soon we were saying goodbye. I don’t know when I’ll see lyn again, which makes me sad, but hopefully it won’t be too long. It was a wonderful evening.

Well, time to tidy up.
