Getting into a rut, and out of it

It’s all too easy to get into a rut, especially in the winter months. After a day of pottering and tinkering, it can feel so cosy to sit watching television in the evening, going to be, and fucking gently before going to sleep. And I hate to admit it, but that’s how it is for much of the time with Emma and me. There is something comforting about routine, but it’s insidious in the true meaning of the word: “Working in a subtle or apparently innocuous way, but nevertheless deadly.” This is why we try to arrange a complete break from routine as often as we can - no more than a couple of days in a comfortable hotel. We much prefer this to one or two longer holidays, and a package tour would drive us nuts. But between these breaks, it is a photo-shoots which rejuvenate us. When Emma says (as he did lat week) “Didn’t you say you wanted to take some photographs?” she rally means, “Hey, lover-boy, I think our sex-life needs livening up.” It works every time.
