27th May

Met Emilie's parents for the first time, although really I should say I eMet them, as it was over a webcam. As I was telling myself beforehand, meeting a girlfriend's parents for the first time is a very important moment. First impressions cannot be undone, and this kind of thing could affect the course of the rest of the relationship. Unfortunately, I managed to inadvertantly call her mum a racist. Actually, it was a dicey joke that luckily went well - her dad found it hilarious. But right after I said it I was counting myself incredibly lucky that it had got away with it. The rest of the meeting went well, although I wished I could speak more French.
