This weekend included:
Lots of wandering around Dundee in the most utterly gorgeous winter sunlight. Some of the wandering was in the Botanic gardens, and some across various pretty or interesting parts of town, and we took in the Sensation Science museum, which is rather kid-focused but not bad for that, and we got to play with
No snow despite the weather forecast's promises, but not much actual warmth either.
Some astronomy. Since Shabbat came in so early, we had a bit of slack time on Friday evening and used it to visit the Observatory and look through big telescopes at the moon and the Pleiades. I very nearly wimped out of going since it was seriously cold by the time it was dark, but
Plenty of snuggling. Given that we only see eachother once a month, and the various other constraints, it's easy to forget that our relationship actually has a physical dimension as well as all the other good things.
Lots of silliness and laughing together.
Some chevruta.
Lots and lots and lots and lots of conversation, some of which was even about topics unrelated to
Not nearly enough sleep, but it was so worth it to be able to cram as much interaction as possible into a couple of days.

Most of my literal muscles ache too, but in spite of these things and in spite of the rather scary implications of a couple of points in this paragraph, I'm quite ridiculously happy.
To compound the happiness of this weekend even further,
