Rambling while shivering

Nothing much to say really. I have been in Kendal for almost two weeks now. My flight in wasn't so nice because my 'best friend' was accompanying me, so for the first time ever I got airsick, even my asam didn't help nor my minyak angin. But seeing Phil at the end of it was worth it. I love being with him, he had a few days off when I arrived, so he spend it kitting me out with winter gear. He was worried I'd be bored when he starts working, he works night, so he sleeps the day away, but he has a lot of books I can read, so I am fine with that. He also bought me a swimsuit and got me 12 entry at his gym, so I get to swim and laze around in the Jacuzzi and sauna. So all in all, it has been good.

The second day as we drove home from his mother I saw snow falling, I thought it was rain, Phil told me it was snow, when we got out I tried to catch it with my hands and yes indeed it was snow, but it was wet so I couldn't see the ground blanketed with snow, but a few days later I did see it and I went out to play with my first snow. I am not dealing that well with the cold of course, Walter laughs every time he sees me bundling and shivering at home, but I kind of enjoying it masochistically.

So far I am enjoying my time here, I don't think I'd be miserable, friends has been commenting I look really happy. Well I hope so. Till later guys.

My Birthday Story at last!

After months and months of waiting and hassling Phil about it, I finally get my birthday story. I am glad I get to read the end of my story before I make my way to him tomorrow. I once joked that I’ll only get to see the story when I get back to Kendal to see him for Christmas, I guessed he remembered that and finally decided to let go of his baby and sent it to me. He let me read A Tale of Three Princes Part One about two months ago, I loved it. It was real charming and I could foresee it becoming a long running bedtime story for our children. Today when he skyped me Part Two, I adored the heroine even more as she was dashingly rescuing the prince. It was real exciting and again he ended it with room for more adventure for the Princess and the Prince of the Rats.

Well I know what I’ll ask for future birthday presents, I’d want more of their adventure. I know Phil was worried about the story, he finished writing it a long time ago I think, but he kept editing and polishing it and I know he wasn’t happy with it still, but I love the story as it is. I wonder if I can convince him.
