Come over to my house tonight?
No Violet, you come to me.
Oh come on, come here, I have a fantastic fire. And soup…
I have central heating and French champagne sweetheart. Also, my car’s in for a service.
Yeah, but – French Champagne? Ugh still. Then I have to get up, get in my car, it’s freezing outside, I’m lazy, I don’t feel like putting on clothes and…
I also have chocolate.
I don’t care about chocolate.
Goddammit stop being difficult, I’ve been looking forward to this all day.
You know it’s like zero degrees out there, and did I mention I’m lazy, also it’s so cosy here, my dog’s on my lap, I’m reading a great book, a fantastic book in fact…
Oh come on, you’re choosing your book over me?
Sorry. Yip.
I put the phone down on him.
And that’s the thing about winter. It’s just too hard to have a lover.
We’ll try again in Spring.
I feel you. Winter comes and I hibernate like a damn bear. Most of the time.

Ha! First of all, books vs men? There are so many reasons why books win.
Secondly, give me a proper fire over central heating any day of the week.

I know, what kind of monsters have central heating anyway.

The kind who expect you to put on clothes, put off your book, put down the dog and put their needs above your own.
I like to snuggle by a fire 🙂

What? You turned down chocolate and champagne? Ugh, that must’ve been a good book — and a really cold night!

That’s when having a husband who is your lover is so nice. He’s always just on the other side of the bed 😜
