BF,thanks so much for dropping in. Doing OK for a now 50 year old!!!
Seriously, some good friends have stepped up and made sure I have had a good day. Lunch and shopping with one set of friends and dinner out with another.
Heard nothing from my partner, but as last years bd was so awful its probably just as well. He had talked of "dropping in" this week, but obviously remembered just in time, and I told him I wasn't going to be around after today. Off to catch up with family and more friends, so should be a good week - just so long as they don't ask to many questions. Avoid R talk with them just as much as I do him.
Better things to think about this week - wish it could always be like that!
