I actually do talk to W sometimes, though not about anything "big", (yet). For instance, we looked together at the non-working stereo she had bought, which came with a circuit diagram, and I explained how to trace the fault (a fuse). That fuse is now ordered. Next step will be to see if it works, and if not, then look at the grease on the motor (which apparently gets gunky with age). This in some sense is a shared project.
W asked me to take down some old jasmine trees/bushes, which is good, simple work that I enjoy.
W can be nice, yes. It just seemed so different to have her bring a cold beer to the dinner table.

ps. Sweden's biggest fire in a long time is burning not too far from here. You can smell and see the smoke. Luckily France and Italy have sent up water scooping airplanes to help out - we don't have any such here.
