Saturday's Musings
We have recently got rid of our flatmate and now have the house entirely to oursleves which is a huge bonus, since we can now be snuggle up on the sofa watching a DVD and know that nobody is going to come in and start talking to us or wanting our attention. The only thing that does that is the cat now and she just tries to crwal all over us whenever we are sitting down.
We are slowly fixing up our spare room into a study come guest room and as the house is so small we have not really had any furniture to put into the room. At the moment we have got stuff lying all over the place in heaps and mounds. One of the first things we have done is get more bookcases for all the books that we have. Every time I travel somewhere I tend to have a book handy to read while I am waiting for my flights or while on the plane.
We went off to IKEA this morning to find a Billy bookcase. I love IKEA as it appeals to my sense of hominess and building a nest, or as lee puts it my nesting phase. He is right that I love to nest wherever I am and I love a nice confy house. When we go out we always hold hands and act silly like any couple does, you know a quick peck on the cheek or a little neck rub, just simple things like that. Lee had gone ahead of me in the store today while I was choosing some candles. (I only like good candles because the chep ones never burn properly and leave a funny residue in the air). Anyway a guy came up to me he must have been early fifties typical looking, not gay or anything lilke that and he said, "It's so nice seeing two guys being affectionate to each other , it's really nice"..
I was a bit shokced at first and just smiled in my goofy way and said thanks. It was a really nice thing to say and it really made my day. I don't think the guy was gay, I just think he was commenting ont he fact that Lee and I look and act like we are in love, which we do and are.
Maybe he has gay frineds or a gay son or something llike that or maybe he was gay even, who knows? But is made my day and reminded me that even in the world where being openly gay is still strange to some people, there are some people out there that are happy to see people in love and showing affectio to each other.
