You sound good as you always do, especially with your never ending GAL plans.
I don't think too much can be read into the delay on your H's part - I know I can leave some important stuff for ages for all kinds of reasons. Having said that I expect sorting the gardener will give him a fairly hefty shove.
I don't think the curiosity ever goes away, like you say its whether it's still accompanied by anguish. For example my curiosity over whether and what my XW thinks of me still has anguish, my curiosity on what on earth she did all those nights she sat in her bedroom is pure bewildered curiosity.
Enjoy aqua aerobics.
