Too tired to do a proper blog, so will just summarise briefly.
Most of the good bits of this week were to do with spending quality time with my husband and/or nurturing our relationship.
On Friday we rented a DVD and greatly enjoyed watching it together - 'Bunny and the Bull'. We also booked tickets to go to see Rufus Wainwright's new Opera in a couple of weeks: at last I'd managed to find something we BOTH want to go to!
On Saturday we watched the new Doctor Who episode together (this and the above DVD watching may sound like a fairly low-level kind of 'achievement', but it really was a step up from the norm, which has recently often consisted of him watching football in one room while I mess around on my laptop in the other all evening)
On Saturday, I curried further favour by sorting out my husband's new annual season ticket online and by ordering a book he wanted on amazon.
On Sunday afternoon we went for a lovely long walk with the dog in Denham Country Park.
On Monday we enjoyed a day-trip to the South coast and discovered beaches we'd never known were there. We got a bit lost on the way down, (and got a bit shirty with each other for a short while) but it all worked out for the best since we passed through some much more interesting places as a result.
The other highlights this week were successfully obtaining my new passport last Thursday, and (to make use of the 4 hours while waiting for the passport to be processed) discovering an interesting little exhibition of digital art at the V&A. I've already posted a review of the exhibition in my previous blog.
In a similar vein, I met up with some new friends this afternoon (and extending on into the early evening) - and had a very enjoyable time chatting and chomping and drinking and laughing together.
SOME chores were done this week - in particular a first assault on the laundry mountain yesterday. Mind you, I can't really pretend I was all that industrious: I did use my newly acquired chest infection as an excuse for a fairly hefty amount of procrastination.
That's about the shape of week 5 then.

I think your TYSIC goal to work on your relationship is a brilliant one. It's so easy to get into a rut and I know exactly what you mean about sitting in different rooms watching TV or on the computer. My boyfriend has a rather stressful job so it's wonderful when he has a bit of time off to just mess about together, go for walks, make a meal and do lots of laughing. I wouldn't worry about the chores - you can still be happy with slightly stinky clothes on. :-D
