Went shopping for some dinner at Woolworths (not plugging the name I promise) and chose to walk through the watering hole for a quick one (first in over a week). It's a shortcut to the car park.
Saw Great Britain win the canoeing! Had a chat with two of the barmen who are friends. Said my goodbyes and walked through the garden area. And. W was there, the "friend" with leg stretched out after her knee op, another mutual femal friend who was holding the most beautiful 6 week old puppy! Thank goodness she was because it brought the higgest beaming smile to my face and got me into a full on "he's georgeous" mode. Lots of nose licking (from the dog!). W was smiling like crazy at her H acting all mushy. No I'm not taking notes. And no I don't have any expectations.
Looked a bit annoyed when I said "bye folks" and didn't make a fuss over her.
Btw - W didn't come back last night but that didn't stop me dropping off a lot sooner than normal. She's now nursing "friend". So that's turned out okay. She's out from under my feet and I don't have to look at her every day. Relief from that stressful situation.
My L sent an email to hers suggesting a meeting of all parties. He's requested 3 dates. I can see and hope this date shuffling "game" can go on a bit. He's busy in the High Court most days.
