G'Day Sara,

Thanks for looking out for me. We actually chose to leave Australia because we wanted a change of scene and decided to come to Germany. I know that she had it in the back of her mind to have a baby here and so did I. After 3 years of marriage and jettisoning all family planning measures, there is still no sign of a little one.

This is a difficult thing to deal with. In the last 2 phone conversations that I have had with her, she says she feels the need to "start doing grown up things" like "buying a home", "having a family" and that she needs to "get back to reality". She also said when she came to see me last week that she is "having a break", "has gone AWOL" and "is a bit of a globe-hopper at the moment".

What a funny little girl she is! I think we have a rare glimpse into the inner machinery of a WAW's mind. Even better that those words are coming from her lips.

However, all of these encouraging things that she's saying I will believe (or not) when they are backed up by hard evidence - i.e. her actions. Right now as per DBing, I have absolutely no expectations - neither good nor bad.

For now I have another trip to the Alps lined up to take my mind of things and my Mum and Dad are coming next week to stay for 5 nights. Now they are one hell of a couple - married for 34 years and have never regretted a thing. Still happy together.

best,

GH31
