Hi All,

I had a good weekend in the end. Out for dinner on friday night with friends, met someone for coffee on saturday then met another group of friends for coffee today. In amongst that I did a few little productive things around the house, nothing too dramatic but useful.

I've also been trying to sort out the arrangements for my holiday next year which has been really positive to do even if it is a long time away.

I did manage to get out on my bike (the pedal kind) a couple of times and am slowly building up the mileage - definitely a lot more enjoyable than running even if it does take longer.

As for XW, well we have seperate lives now and the only reason we have any communication at all is the kids. If it weren't for them then I believe that the next time I heard from her would be when we move forward with the divorce paperwork - that's not how it is obviously because we have two amazing children together but it is the acceptance of that reality (which is now nearly a year old and in truth much older than that) that has the emotional impact on me.

Not helped by the fact that in every two week period I go 6 days (5 nights) without any communication with my kids.

But my life does seem to be moving in a good direction and although I know I will at times feel a bit down about what happened as long as I don't wallow then that's fine.

Thanks for checking in.
