I’ve not posted for a couple of weeks but I guess I can just pick up from where I left off on my last post.
Yesterday W ask for an early night and although we clashed verbally during the day, and despite me being late home for dinner which annoyed her we did have that early night. We ML, which was good, but not exciting, W has gone back to laying still, staying silent and letting me get on with it. The only instruction I get “is to take my time”. I tend to hurry up when I hear her snoring cos I think she’s had enough. W doesn’t really talk to me in detail about sx but she insists she enjoys it with me and she says she isn’t snoring or sleeping she’s just resting her eyes. But all despite this it’s better that getting nothing at all, things should improve with time.
Last week W, D7 and I went out of town to visit W friends, a four hour drive became 6 as for the first time ever I had to use a breakdown service. My car has an electronic park brake and I err… dropped the park brake fuse behind the fuse panel and couldn’t reach it. This only happened cos D7 portable DVD player or Nintendo blew a fuse in the car and dopey old me was trying to find the blown fuse without the car hand book, unfortunately I pulled out the wrong fuse and dropped it. The recovery man had a good laugh about it but it didn’t detract from what was an enjoyable weekend.
On Monday evenings W and I have established a routine of dropping D7 off at her dance class then both of us going to the gym together, W seems to like this gym session as I am there with her to give her advice and encouragement. D7 on the other hand is doing very well at dance and has taken her Silver awards in Latin and Ballroom and a Bronze award in Disco. The dance class had an open session for the parents to view and D7 surprised us as she is a lot better than we both thought she was. Her school work especially maths (which was very poor) is improving, she’s not likely to be top of the class but she does try really hard and I’m very pleased with that.
As for me I’m toying with the idea of a new hobbie, I may buy a new bike and start cycling on the roads, not Tour de France standard or anything like that, but it’s another option of exercise if running on the roads gets too much for me. Also I can take part in the annual 60 mile charity bike ride which a number of my work colleagues did this year, hearing them all talk about it made me feel I missed out on something.
So overall all it’s calm at home, no craziness from W, and I’ll probably update you all in a couple of weeks time.
