Hi Snodderly,

Thank you for posting and your encouraging words. Yes, I have been busy lately with GAL – LOL!

I had to inform XH about something and also mentioned that I would appreciate it if he stopped asking me to return some of the money. If he mentions it again I will write something along the lines you suggested which I found funny.

I didn't do anything yesterday apart from going for a walk. But today I had quite a nice day. I met my GF and we went to the beach. It was still too cold for me to go swimming but she did. Since it was such a lovely evening and I passed my favourite restaurant I went for a coffee. I was surprised to find it full. When I asked the waiter if they had anything special going on I was told that it was such a nice evening and everybody wanted to enjoy it.

By chance I sat at the table next to two guys and we started chatting. These days I feel quite relaxed and confident when I go into a restaurant on my own. A GF told me that you get to know people easier if you are on your own. I noticed it to be true because it happened the second time that a guy was chatting me up.

The funny thing was that I thought the two guys were business men since one of them had a jacket on. When they told me that they came by bike I had to laugh and told them that I would have never dreamt that they came by bike because of wearing a jacket. They told me that their bikes had electric drives and they didn't have to pedal that hard and therefore could wear a jacket – LOL.

Another funny thing happened to me to day. When I was driving along I saw a guy in an open sports car driving towards me and I suddenly recognised him. It was one of the guys I met in spring!

Snodderly, I also wish you a nice rest of the week.
