Dear Snodderly, thank you so much for taking the time to bring me back down to earth... He has just left, was here for about an hour and a half. We went through the paperwork very calmly, and I was very cool, calm and collected. he even started telling me about some of his social activities and what is going on with his work situation. I let him do most of the talking.

No idea what the e-mail is referring to. However he was talkative, made eye contact with me (unusual) and not at all agitated (which he normaly is when he is hiding something or has to tell me something he doesn't want to. So I guess I have to wait and see (I sooooo hope I am wrong on this one).

We also discussed putting furniture into storage (his idea)- until we know where we are going? He said he would arrange for the storage to be close to the house to make it easier for me to get stuff if I stay locally. I told him that was unlikely. No further comment was made on that subject.

He will contact me to arrange times to come and sort out sheds, books and assorted rubbish and to start packing.

He also hugged the dog (wow).

It was hard to see him go today, he seemed almost normal (note: Almost). But he has been playing out his fantasy life for the best part of the day.

Must concentrate on me for the rest of the weekend.

Once again, thank you Snodderly for taking time out to write me - it helped.
