To try and begin to thank Thom for how supportive and thoughtful he’s been over the last few months, I took us to the new production of an Alan Bennett play at the National. It was fantastic – funny and clever, moving and sparky, and we talked solidly in the interval about how we both wished we came to the theatre more often.

At the end of the play, I felt Thom nudge me.

Thom: Were you … were you asleep?

Me: No. [wiping drool from side of mouth] Do you have any water, please? My mouth is a bit dry.

Thom: Well, I really enjoyed it. Thank you for the kind thought. And for not snoring.

It’s literally the least I could have done for him, and I managed to stay awake for dinner afterwards. Also, for the after-dinner treat at home. Which was very much worth it.
