I caught the last episode of "Derry Girls" last night on catch-up, which provoked a memory. If you've not seen it, I'd thoroughly recommend it. The last episode takes place on the eve of the Good Friday Agreement referendum. That rang a bell with me, but it took me a while to figure out why.
I remember accompanying FA2 to her voting station, as she did with me to mine. It was a gloriously sunny Friday.
I also remember that we went to the pub to celebrate the end of violence, got somewhat tipsy and ended up in bed together.
What I didn't piece together was that this was the day that FA2 regards as our anniversary, our first day of officially being a couple. The night after she ended it with a guy she'd been dating for a few weeks. The night before we had the chat and decided to become official.
And the actual anniversary of that is only a few days away.
