(((Cas))) Thank you for your lovely words, they made me smile. I hope your wedding goes well!

(((Mishka))) My intention for this weekend is to go out and about so I will take some pics and post them. Those 18 months on my own in that house were hard. It's funny that sometimes the thing you least want turns out to be a fantastic opportunity.

(((Ali))) I hope you aren't being drowned by the rain at the moment; London town is looking pretty dreary. That is fab news about the new not-for-profit sector job, I'm so pleased. I hope you are enjoying it! I love having a different aim where it is not just making money but also giving it away.

He was a real gent that move day and was really amazing. He worked so hard without me even having to ask him to. Even better than when we were together wink We have been mainly texting about money and stuff and sorting things out but with a bit of banter and chat thrown in.

Tomorrow it is his birthday so I texted him and asked for his address. He gave me his home one, in the past it has always been work but now he doesn't have a work one so I guess there is not an alternative. I have a fantastic card; it is a picture of a cat that looks identical to Maple in boxing gloves and a hoodie. The envelope is pink with spots on it, which I didn't realise, so that should make a splash through his letter box (evil laugh) smile

I texted him and asked if he fancied going for birthday cake at the amazing bakery we went to before. The text was casual, open and non-pursuing. He texted back today to say yes, he also texted me later on about a guy we used to know. As usual thought there is no fixing of a time to meet but it is funny, that invite I sent to him was the first where I didn't care if he replied or not, I just figured, if he didn't it was his loss. Likewise, if he doesn't let me know when he is free as he says in his texts, again, his loss. Maybe I'm getting better at this letting go of fear and detachment lark?!

I was thinking about the fact that he doesn't see me as a person to be attracted to and I think that is deeply routed in our past issues with me being his nurse whilst he was ill. It is something I am going to ponder over and set some goals. I'm doing a bit of research about what men and women find attractive. To be honest, I wouldn't change myself for him necessarily but it could be fun for me. Dressing in a 180 outfit at the wedding drew lots of compliments and was exciting. I'm going to look some more into it.
