Well, my darkness and space has paid off, I just got a text from my h. The thing I am most pleased about is that I have been really detached for 98% of the time. I have just told myself that he is busy at work instead of imagining all sorts and sure enough the text said.
'Hi. I'm really sorry I haven't got back to you with arrangements. I've been covering for (his boss) again this week and i've hardly stopped. Sorry. Do you fancy meeting up after work on Wednesday? Hope your day in the garden went well.'
As a reply I was thinking
'No worries, yes Wednesday is fine. Where would you like to meet? Have fun at your driving day on Saturday.'
