Well another day done here in freezing cold middle England. It apparently snowed further south today, so maybe buying a BBQ a couple of weeks ago was a bit premature if this is summer!

Work was mediocre, although did manage to catch up with several old colleagues and drink some tea. Nice to see my old boss as well, who always has a smile and something nice to say! More support from colleagues, more "it'll be over between them before you know it" comments too. I'm sure it will eventually end, I just wish it would be sooner rather than later.

They have apparently just booked Barcelona holiday in July. So no signs yet. And I'm desperately trying to keep that tiny glimmer of hope opened up by her unannounced visit on Saturday in it's correct place, hidden beneath a big pile of realism.

On the positive I managed to square away a few irritating bits of work paperwork, the cycle commute was blissfully dry by the skin of my teeth (downpour just as I got in the door) and social calendar once again filling up in the coming days.

Ho hum.


Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
