So I had the first big test tonite with my Coffee Friend. Lets just call her Jo (cos that's her name).

We've been out a few times in the last weeks, I've spent a weekend at her place, yep we bumped bodies like teenagers, and we are really getting on like a house on fire.

D17 wanted to cook dinner for Jo tonight. Of course she chose about the most difficult thing she could to make, boufe bourguignon. Took her 4 hours, and she wouldn't let me help at all.

Not exactly sure what her motivation was, after all Jo is a professional cook by trade. She told me she just wanted to do something nice. Anyway it was really important to me that Jo and the kids all get on OK together, and the great news is that they really did. I just sat back and watched them all, only took a little while and they were all at ease with each other. I'm so stoked about the whole thing.

After Jo had left, the kids all told me that they really liked her and that I had a real catch.

How good is that !!!
