5 Years

In May 2010, I took a chance. 
 
Before that I’d been living on my own for a good few years and had pretty much decided that I would spend the rest of my life alone.  Well, apart from Moot.  I could handle seeing friends but I really couldn’t be @rsed with a relationship anymore.  I was happy in my little world of watching odd films & documentaries.  Really, it was fine.
 
And then I joined an internet movie forum.  If you were here at the beginning, then you’d know that I have a real interest in Bollywood.  I got chatting to one particular person on there.  We discovered that we had a fair bit in common.  I had no idea where she was from, no idea about her whatsoever.
 
After a few online & telephone conversations, I booked a plane ticket to Germany. I’d never been to Germany.  Didn’t have any German at all.
 
Aber – why not?  Why not see what could happen?
 
I vividly remember arriving at Frankfurt airport and walking miles through corridors thinking “I wonder if she’s actually going to be there?”
 
She was.
 
That was exactly 5 years ago today.  This sounds better than the original because the lyrics are nuts.
 
6 months later, I left Edinburgh for good.

It is also exactly 2 years since Munni joined us.

We belong together.
