There's just something so relaxing, even though you're not talking, sitting side by side reading. I'm really enjoying seeing E. once a month - which is quite a luxury because all throughout fourth year, my intern year and last year, we'd probably see each other once every two months at the very best. I suppose it's part of the secret to staying so happy - we don't really take each other's company for granted.
We also had crab yesterday evening and it is such an impossible food to eat politely. We gave up almost five minutes in and exposed ourselves to the world as severely lacking in table manners. Which was ironic, because we were sitting by the window and prior to our food arriving, had been judging the classy inebriated souls who were staggering past in several states of dishevelledness. Anyway, eating the crab involved tearing off each the claws/pincers/nippybits and sucking whatever flesh there was out. Except, I sort of failed when I tried to tear off one of the claws because it flew up into the air and hit E. squarely in the eye. It was amusing. What wasn't so amusing was how E. gave up on using his utensils entirely and decided to scoop the salsa sauce that was bathing the crab with his fingers. Also, funny part - when some of the salsa ended up on E's top, he tried licking it off and ended up looking like a dog.
So important life lesson learnt: do not order crab when in polite company. As the waitress said, thankfully this was not our first date.
