W attempted to call me again. I missed her call. Called back an hour and a half later. We spoke about how there is a breakout of chicken pox at the kids' school. A nice pleasant chat. I made sure to not talk over W when she was speaking, really listen to what she was saying, validate/agree wherever possible with her. She asked me to keep an eye on the kids in case they show signs of catching it. Neither of us want them to be ill but agreed that if they were to catch it then doing so in the holidays would at least mean that they don't miss any school.

I made sure to end the conversation first by saying I had to go in a polite manner.

At least if nothing else we are seeing signs that we will be able to coparent together. Given her anger and mood swings recently (and yes, my wayward behaviour too) it would be incredibly hard to go on with how things have been for any long period of time. Thankfully we are getting on much better at the moment.

Right, the sun is coming out here. I think it's time to grab a bite to eat and go for a little walk. Gym later maybe. Afterwards have the kids for a bit, drop them off, and then maybe either go out to a local meet up group thing or stay in and watch the political debate that's on tonight before the UK election in a few weeks' time. I am going to try and squeeze in some joke writing time too if i get the chance.
