Thanks for your suggestions Rabbit, Oz, Julia and Nell. I have time to give it some thought. I can think of lots of things but I'm not sure spending a lot of money would be a good idea at this point.
Nothing to report. Haven't heard from H since he text me to say thanks for the card I sent him. This text told me he liked being acknowledged so I guess I should affirm where possible.
I feel certain that H will not initiate contact but could accept another invitation from me. Not sure if I want to. I feel myself moving away, esp when there is no contact.
It's hard to affirm when there's nothing happening though Cas, eh?
If and when you feel like sending another invitation, why not just give it a try? Nothing to lose and, sounds like your shutters are up and a rejection would not do that much storm damage anyhow!
Enjoy Sunday and I hope that the new week brings something lovely for you .... :o)

Nell, eventhough I haven't heard from H I hear lots of things via the kids which makes it easier to affirm him.
I did text him to ask if he wanted to join me on a beach walk later today. His reply was "thanks. I'll see how I go." Non commital again but did say thanks so I'll take that as a positive. (My friend suggested non commitment keeps him in control.)
Now it's raining and every chance I won't go anyway.
Watched the boy in striped pyjamas Fri night and yesterday went shopping and then with a girlfriend to see Julie and Julia and to dinner. It was a very pleasant day. The movie inspired me so I made a new recipe this morning. It was an orange cake...don't remember it being part of Julia's recipes but it looks and smells good.
S and I have been cleaning out the garage...we accumulate so much stuff!
text from H at 3.30pm to say "Sorry. still at work. Will have to give walk a miss." So I replied to say it probably suited me anyway because S and I hadn't finished cleaning the garage. That's the reply I would give to a friend and what's more it was true. Cleaning always takes longer than you think!!
Anyway, I'm hoping he will see that I could accept the invitation decline graciously.
So later on H came by to drop something off for S on his way home from work. He only stayed for 10 mins, chatting with kids and I in the garage where we were still sorting. I looked like a wreck!!!! Well, at least he could see that my reply text re cleaning the garage was true. I was definitely in 'hands on' cleaning mode. There was a bit of awkward silence between us... the kids were there as well. I just couldn't think of too much to say.
