K- it would be lovely if you came here, although I can't vouch for there being that many hot guys about. I'm sure if you're around they flock to your position though \:\)

Handsome- if only it was 2 weeks earlier. How exciting that would be ;\)

Michelle- Hi! I have no idea what H thinks- confused is a good assessment, I don't think he has any idea what he wants.

This week H and I have interacted quite a lot- a few e-mails and we met up on Wednesday evening at a work networking event. I ignored him for the first half of the evening and then we had a couple of drinks together before going to watch the football together. That turned into a bit of an adventure because we ended up getting on the wrong bus and then doing a walking tour of central London. When we met H pointed out hat I had a new jacket and jeans and said he thought my jeans were an excellent fit and really showed off my figure. You could have knocked me over with a feather- that's the first unsolicited compliment he's given me in 2 years.

After the match H and I walked towards the tube station and he held my hand as we walked. I didn't have the heart to point out that it was inappropriate behaviour considering we're getting a D and he is seeing someone else but maybe I should have.... The next day he sent me an e-mail saying how great it had been to see me and the exchange continued to yesterday. He told me in a lot of detail what he'd done on Thursday evening and how much he enjoyed my cookies (I gave him some extra because he's really getting too thin now and the aubergine can't or won't cook).

I'm almost tempted from his behaviour to say that maybe something is changing with him, but then I remember that I've been in this situation many times before and every time it wasn't a change but a confused blip on his part. As Austin said to me yesterday, this is the H of a year ago (again). It's sad- the old H was so amazing.

Other than that things are good. I had dinner at House of Lords (the restaurant is in the middle of the photo- the kind of white covered area) on Thursday evening. It was lovely- the building is beautiful inside and the food was excellent. Yesterday night the choir I'm in performed at this old central London church . It was a big success and it was a real privilege to sing there. Before the performance the musical director had us all rehearsing in the porch outside the church for a few minutes. The tourists must have thought it was their lucky day because the sound was amazing. It was really good fun.

CEO....is CEO. I'm still working on confusing the hell out of him and I think it's working although it's not easy changing the pattern of our relationship (whatever that word means in the bizarro world of OD and CEO).

((((all))))
