Last night H phoned at home and asked how my day was. He was ringing to find out what time we would leave for swimming. As I had my dad visiting it was a brief convo. Interesting that he rang rather than a text.
So we left early this morning. Took an hour to get there. When we arrived I decided to sit with the other families as I would do if I was going alone. I wondered if H would be ok with that as of course, he wouldn't know people and he is quite private. He seemed fine. It was comfortable and conversation was easy. I brought a couple of magazines along and H brought the newspaper so we read and swapped news. Then I gave H my mags to read while I read the newspaper and he pointed out a few recipes he liked and a couple he knew I would like. He told me stuff about his work and the details of a phone call he received while we were there. Plenty of general conversation, in between racing. Anyone who observed us would not have known we were separated. It was a long day and altogether we spent 10 hours side by side so I think that was quite positive.
