Apologies for the long absence; to try and get me back into the swing I thought I’d do a meme. This one seemed appropriate, for I am a man of few words. It was only when I had nearly finished that May pointed out I forgot that had already done it in the comments to her original. Well that was 16 months ago! As it turns out some are different some are the same, who’d have thunk it?

Oh. The last one makes me sad.
It is nice to see you post.
Well, I laughed at the dust on your TV. Clearly, you and May need to aim for silly this weekend – you could use some laughter.
Good to hear from you…
“31. Your relationship status: stable”
I’m both glad and surprised (in an eye-opening way) you chose stable. It hadn’t occurred to me that having ups and downs, hope and despair, talking and not talking, is (a possible) part of ‘stable’.
I might be 39, but in some ways still 19 apparently.
Your list, H, made me feel sad for you.
Yet the quiet thread of happiness and calm with May in there, that comes through nicely.
Thank you, H. Dilbert? Ah! Yes. It’s been too long.
I don’t like your last answer, so I shall now go and find a joke to tell you…

PS I get the stable relationship thing. Absolutely.
You don’t mean a Dexter COW, do you…? No? Oh. Sorry, can’t help after all.
The dear chap, who has a delicate, squeamish stomach, has a slightly alarming obsession with the American TV series Dexter, which is all about a serial killer. Who cuts people into little bits. Baffled.
Sad sad sad about the last one. :’-(
