Part 19 - keeping on keeping on

[edz]

Good morning all

Sunny, cloud and windy today, busy morning again. And was an interesting evening last night.

So finished work yesterday and W called inviting me for dinner. She had some rather nice home made Indian food her mum had brought round (she has an Indian neighbour). I said love to come round, fed the BFT and popped into the shops on the way and got some wine and headed over.

We had dinner and s had chicken and we just had a family chilled evening. W and I on the sofa, s in her chair (we think he had growing pains yesterday).

I'd had a glass of wine and I always stop there since I have to drive and like to be safe, w asked what would I like to drink I said well the wine is nice but I'm driving, she then asked did I want to crash on the couch? Offered to move the car in case she was concerned about neighbours gossiping or talking to MIL but in the end no it was left in front of the garage.

Around 9 s went to bed and w and I had some wine, cheeeeese and crackers and watched house of cards and talked some more (nothing really detailed last night as everyone was tired) and indeed I crashed on the sofa for the night.

This morning got up and washed etc and when I came back in the living room there was s under my duvet, said he'd woken up and thought I forgot the car or took the wrong one, he was very happy to see me. As Ive said we dont want to raise *his* expectations so I just said well I had too much wine to drive home so stayed on the sofa. W and I had some coffee while s had his breakfast, they got ready and I dropped them at the polling place this morning for w to vote (I had an appointment first thing) and then headed back to feed bft and start work.

So now caught up with emails, lunchtime will go and vote myself (different boundry although Im only 1 1/2 miles away from w) get some food for BFT and possibly grab a shower and shave before this afternoon.

Not expecting any contact with w today as they have a pretty full agenda with an election party tea this afternoon that a friend invited them to but Im learning that having no expectations flows both ways at the moment!

233 days which still seems optimistic but maybe not impossible. And, no, I dont say things like that to w just to myself, oh and db buddies.

Have a good one all.
