lol guys, we nearly emigrated to Australia back in 2002 (pre son) but w got flakey about the whole thing and I got the impression she didn't want to leave her parents, after we both decided we like new england (Boston esp) in the US we also looked at that but ultimately we didn't take the chance when it was possible. Then our age was against us, likely I couldn't go now as I wouldn't rack up enough points on the skills, age or money sadly and don't have any relatives to vouch for me although both Gg and Gan in - relatively (for the size of the country) - the same place, that's a point in its favour of course!
Ah well, have to content myself with the fact its 18c and sunny today down here, although where the tutor place is which is by the seafront is shrouded in sea mist today, brilliant sunshine by me lol.
Anyway while s was in his assessment bought w a coffee and a cake at the seafront bistro we only talked about s his previous schooling and current attitude etc. Was nice, mr Fixit was screaming a little to talk about m and r but I know its not the time, down to w to signal that discussion now. S seems to be reasonably ok and I'll be taking him to his tutor times on saturdays from the end of the month.
While its not the point I dont go in with him so it will lend an option or two if w is interested in a coffee at the beachfront every now and again for the hour or so he's in there.
Looks like s isnt coming swimming now as he's saying he's too tired but he's coming round for dinner but not staying over since they have an early start tomorrow, although I think its also w doesnt want to pick up with mil/fil or have me drop off while theyre about. To be honest its better for s not to have a late night and an early start if he's to be in a car with w/mil/fil for several hours especially how fil drives!
W is going to let me know if they're going or not, already planned not to see either of them until tuesday so no hassle and w has already said we'll work out the time with s next week to make up for it so theres no stress there.
I wont lie I did want to hold w's hand and talk at the seafront, I just know that she's not ready yet (if ever) for that and already knows I want us together since she's not talking about it she's clearly otherwise occupied and therefore not ready so she can take time and I'll carry on being me.
Cheers all!
