I have retouched the shit out of this photo and make no apologies for it.

My boyfriend has joked that he’s going to stop talking, ‘because if I stop talking, you won’t have anything to blog about!’

Thankfully, he’s almost as talkative as me. That’s part of what I like about him: he’s an extrovert, but not the annoying kind. (We all know the annoying kind: loud, brash and convinced of their own self-importance, for absolutely no reason. A couple of world leaders spring to mind.)
