Moments with My Love

The bad news is, the system at Dave's work deleting files over night. The good news is, it didn't delete any Narnia files. Phew!
The bad news is, there's nothing for him to do, but wait and see if it can be fixed. The good news is, he's coming home for lunch and we get to see him!

He came home and we all had lunch together. Then, he and I got to escape for a bit. This is only the second time we've been able to hang out "alone". We didn't know where to go, but as we walked under the archway from Greenwich Market, we passed this guy leaning on a wall, sipping from a very small paper cup. I asked him if he knew a place to get a great cup of coffee, and he said, "My shop!" as he pointed across the street.
Dodging traffic and the pouring rain, we had the most marvelous cup of coffee at George of Greenwich. We even treated ourselves to a slice of whipped cream cheese and black cherry pie - mmm, mmm! We sat inside, though it was like we were outdoors. The service was perfectly thoughtful, as though we entered someone's classy home.
Anyone who's been to London knows why I had to post this pic of the bathroom ~ nice, eh?

Though short, we had a wonderful time together. We grasp every chance we can to see each other. I love that guy!

Then, "Screech!" went the romance. The bus we took home stopped and the driver told all of us to get off. Humph. Another adventure! We waited patiently for another 177 to arrive whilst everyone around us seemed not a bit concerned.

While waiting, I met a gal wearing a hat she purchased at her church in East London, but I can't remember the name of the church. Her hat was quite bold with names of Jesus tastefully embroidered all over it. She was the first "out there" Christian I'd met whilst on the streets of London. Just as we were getting a good conversation going, I noticed Dave was heading toward a bus I hadn't even noticed arrive. I smiled and jumped on board with the rest of the soggy crew.

I have no way of describing how wonderful it was to hang with my love. I allowed myself to be engulfed in the moment and absorb every second. It was kinda like a big, warm hug that I knew was going to end, but it would take me through the day until I saw him again as he kissed me good-bye, leaving for work the next morning.
