Husband and I are having a “date night”. Obviously we can’t leave the house, and even if we could, there would be no restaurants or cinemas open in which a date could take place. So “date night” involves sitting in our dining room, at the same table where we have eaten every meal for the past four weeks, with a beer (him) and a lemon and ginger tea (me). We’ve put the kids to bed early so we can spend some quality time together.
Our date has kicked off with a long and shell-shocked silence. Neither of us can think of anything to say. What, after all, do you say to a person you have spent every single minute of every day and night with for the past month? What do you talk about, when for as long as you can remember you have done nothing other than look after children, cook, clean, exercise and sleep?
