Update: After writing this and showing it to James he said he felt a bit as if he were being stalked. I find that funny seeing that we have lived together for going on nine years. I must be a pretty successful stalker. I realise it looked a little like I was a bit obsessed with him but the reality is that he is the love of my life and I will continue to stalk him to the ends of the earth. (GRIN)
