Thanks for your comments on my thread, really useful.

Your email from H there’s loads of positives, I would be pleased to receive something that long I normally get a simple OK/no.

Right one by one, the concert, go anyway, enjoy it and don’t look for him (difficult though it may be). Cat, reply in the positive I think even if it feels odd to you, but a simple ‘great that you’re getting a cat, what type?’ sort of thing, asking some sort of question may invoke a response. Take the router, I think it means that he’s thinking of you in some small way even if it is a cast off.

I agree with One Day now’s the time to keep communication open, if a friend where to say they were getting a cat would you be bothered or pleased for them? I appreciate that it’s not easy, sometimes you just want to spit don’t you?
