Oh Lovely Lady V I do love a fig roll and a ginger biscuit. I am an English Breakfast Tea girl too. Ooooo Scumpy I haven't had that in years Mmmmm. All sounds ideal, and your lovely company to boot. Maybe I could do some mini pavlova's with cream or a lammington, kiwi favs here in NZ.
Yes V, H has behaved quite poorly. V you are testament to hard work.
As my mother said when the day came between my mother and my father that their marriage came to an end, she said this "finale was played by god and was out of my hands". She always said in the end she did very little to bring the marriage to an end, she felt that god played his hand, there was no force on her behalf, that in fact she did nothing, the end unfolded without her assistance. Maybe this is the case for you and H.
I have been thinking about you cleaning. It is strangely symbolic to me that on a weekend where you have cleaned and are moving for new beginnings for your business, endings have occurred with your H. It's almost like the cleaning need to be done. The higher power at work.
Have your peace V. We are all sending you the most loving of thoughts.
