Hey K! Yes, I was snowed in! In Cornwall! Thats a bit mad, so TSD was cancelled and I didnt get to do a grab-a-groin on GLM (anyone new to my thread will think me crazy).

So.. he replied to my email! Lots more questions, very warm, hmm, interesting. I sent my reply yesterday to his Friday.. and he sent me one earlier where he pointed out "only just got in to the office, roads are chaos"... so that was nice hey. So we're in a new phase here, creeping back up to daily contact (too soon to tell) and he is making an effort to reply now (not leave it a week!).

Dont worry, my Mum is keeping me in check.. she said "it shows you have kept the lines of communication open and there seems to be a dhift in him, but taking it on face value, he appears comfortable to be chatting to you again about his football and your sailing"...So I'm trying not to get too pleased about these developments!
