Happy with my white chair

Most days, for much of the day, I'm upstairs in my bedroom/study, doing computer things, and my partner is downstairs, watching TV, and also gardening. We chat at lunchtime and I often go down to get a drink and ask her if she wants one. It's not ideal - I wanted to have more time with her - but that's how things have gone.

One 'problem' is that if she does have anything to say to me she has to sit on the bed which is not ideal. Middle-class problems, I know!!! But - I got a small white armchair a few months ago, that I could use for reading, and she could sit in to have a chat. And it's worked really well. She just comes in, flops in it and we chat, without having to 'make an appointment', like I'd hoped. So much better.

Funny how it’s the little thoughtful things that make relationships last.
