Howdy folks,

Looks like the last thread was locked for some reason?

So an update (condensed)

1. W was in Durbanville since Friday night. I asked her where (wow - courage!) The answer was at Sisters with niece.

2. Got an SMS last night FROM her saying "I'm still alive. Were in durbanville for a few days. Just arrived at X. Watching tennis and having something to eat. Going to stay here. How are you and how was your weekend?"

My answer: Glad your okay. I'm watching tennis too (go Murray). Weekend was great. Got to watch Nicholas Cage on 3D tv :-))))

And back - "Go the swiss" You have to know tennis to figure this bit out.

And the reply from the W "Enough of tennis. Were did you watch the 3D movie? That sounds nice. Enjoy"

"Watched at friends in Platterkloof. Beautiful house. Glad I got out of the house."

Today the W got home with Pa in tow. Went to do some work - as if he can't manage himself. Came back at 11:00 and it was actually okay to be in the same house with her. Actually had a conversation with her. With full eye contact!

She had a phone call a short while ago where she mentioned "two weeks ago". I thought she was talking to the L. Turns out it was the bank wanting money out of her thats been outstanding for seven years! There's a surprise!

At least it wasn't someone banging on the door like last time. I get the feeling she's trying to run away to protect me. She needn't bother. I'm man enough to sort that lot out.

Got a Facebook message for BIL hoping this'll work. ANOTHER family member who is "on our side". I've asked him not to get involved but to listen to his S / my W.

MY L has sent a letter to the W's L. So now it starts - didn't want to. He's NOT a rottweiler - but he CAN be as many other L's have discovered to their cost. He just want's to protect me and for that I'm very appreciative. I have a meeting on Wednesday afternoon.

W will be back this evening but I have little hope that she'll relate any time soon. I may be wrong and have been. I live, hope and pray.

So there we have it. A condensed version on the happenings since friday.
