i live with my 60 year old landlady and my mischief of rats

My partner and I are in two separate households. I live with my 60 year old landlady and my mischief of rats, and my partner lives with his same age female housemate. Neither of our housemates were super keen on allowing the other half of our relationship move in so we are each stuck on our respective islands. We were thinking about moving in together in the autumn. I've taken to making essential journeys on my daily walk to a post box to mail letters and little notes of and postcards. We only live about eight miles away, and we have agreed that if we both go out on our exercise at a similar time and move half a mile in the direction of each other's location, then we can steal a mile back and even if just for a moment feel slightly closer to each other. We try to watch Netflix movies together using the Netflix Party plugin for Chrome and we call each other every day. We are taking Chinese lessons together with a Chinese tutor online. It's tough going as we're used to seeing each other at least once a week and especially since every distance relationship advice is all about making sure that you know when you're going to see each other again. Because in reality we have no idea when we're going to see each other again. I think we can make it through this though, and hopefully next time there is an international pandemic, hopefully we'll be quarantined together.
