So, after a very busy lead up to Christmas we hosted our family and other visiting friends through the festivities right up until yesterday afternoon. Today I have been a vegetable; with not an ounce more left to give I parked myself in an armchair and, apart from walking the dog, just gave myself over to doing nothing all day. The Wonderful Man, on the other hand, has done an equal share of hosting and busyness, but his idea of relaxing is to get on his bike and cycle the Devon coast to coast route - a mere 102 miles up hill and down dale.
I love the bones of the man and he me, but we really are chalk and cheese in so many ways. He loves adventures, watersports and cycling, I like a good book, family history research and the theatre; he's terribly untidy, I like things neat; he drinks strong black coffee, I have a latte; he's tall, fit and handsome, I'm short, fat and right now I'm fit for nothing.
It's very fortunate that we share all the important things, but some days the contrasts between us are quite stark. What about you? Do/did you mostly share similar interests and hobbies, or are/were you too chalk and cheese?
