It´s been nine months, nine longs months... What will I do next weekend?.

After being apart for so long I have always found that a nice game of chess followed by a chocolate biscuit and an early night, is a very pleasant way to spend the first evening- for the rest of the weekend you could do a bit of gentle decorating or something restful...

Or you could just cuddle for a while and then talk about the first thing that comes up !!!
