Other than the sit. with W & kids everything is fine.

We had Anzac day over here last week. National holiday for remembering our fallen from all wars. Went to the parade with W and Kids and inlaws and W's rellies. Was a nice morning we (W, Kids W's mum & dad) all returned to family home after the parade.

Hung around family home for a little while then planned to go listen to a Dharma talk given by a Tibetan monk, Geshe-la, at a local Buddihist place.

As I was making my leave W asked what I was up to so I told her and said she was welcome to come if she wanted to. She wanted to, so off we went. Ended up 1/2 hr late but still got 1 hr's worth of the talk. The monk knows no english so this other fellow translates it a bit at a time. There are alot worse things I could do with my time.

Things are somewhat strained when I'm around the W. I'm getting the feeling that I'm fighting a losing battle here. Just gotta get on with everything else. Leave the door open is all I can do.

Been thinking about the fundraiser W is having and am having second thoughts about going. Will I be able to handle being at same function as W, om, her parents, brothers, sisters their respective spouses and a bunch of women & sundry other dogooders I don't know? I'll answer my own question here but other input is appreciated. Of course I will, I've already had a hair cut, in a proper hairdressers too mind you. First time in years. Have to find something nice to wear. On the night I will be holding my head high and I will be pleasant and good humored to everyone. There will be people there I haven't seen for a while and I'm sure people will be wanting to know what the $&#* is going on.

I guess if people ask I can just refer them to the W and maby she can explain what's happening.

Sick anniversary just gone. 1 year separated on 27 April. W can now file for D as of the 28th. In all this time W has hardly mentioned D word and I'm not about to start bringing it up either.

Well thats about it at this end.

Take care.
