It was long but fairly relaxed and the only thing to spoil it was the cold, lonely house I came home to.
He wasn't there creating all sorts of fantastic onion and garlic smells and he wasn't there to give me a hug after my first day.
But the biggest loss was not having him there to discuss the day's events and talk creatively - the one thing on which we could actually agree.
I felt increasingly sentimental as the day went on and just really wanted to call him to tell him all about it.
After all, his support helped me to land the job in the first place.
Maybe that's why I was gutted that he didn't call or text to find out how it went.
