For the Greater Good

So the other night my partner and I went to bed fairly early for us, which of course meant that I had severely misjudged my fluid intake and subsequently had to get up to use the amenities around 1am.
I know, I know, this isn't the blog you signed up to read but bear with me!

Now, I'm a nice enough person that I tip-toe around the bed to my side, and try to sneak into the bed without waking my partner up. This usually involves some sort of vertical ninja slide into the blankets while balancing carefully on my bedside table. Hey, plenty of people have their own way of life and I'm not judging you! I thought you had my back, man!

I am also a lucky person that has several little rituals before sleepy time like lip balming, eye dropping, moisturiser or hand lotion depending on the weather and making sure my hair ties/hair itself isn't going to murder me in my sleep. I also methodically bury any treasure that I find during my adventures, but I'm sure you don't want to hear those luxurious details.



So after all this, I'm FINALLY ready for slumber again. I lie back, eyes closed, getting into a comfortable position when suddenly my partner sits bolt upright, and says...

'The Greater Good.'

Needless to say it freaked me out a fraction, and I don't scare easy! I checked and he was totally asleep, and he fell back down on the pillows immediately after he said this. He's chasing sheep and I'm sitting there like, what?! WHAT?!

Hopefully you've all seen Hot Fuzz - if you answered 'narp' then you better go check it out!

What's worse is, being such a fan of the series I very nearly answered back to it!

Apparently he was dreaming (or chasing swans, rather) that his sister and I were part of this Hot Fuzz inspired dream but he had no idea he was chanting the motto out loud which made for a hilarious anecdote over breakfast!
