WAW - Marching to the D

[isittoolate]

Hi Sotto - not too bad. I've been away at a big work meeting in Manchester. Two big nights out with work colleagues I don't see very often as my day-to-day job is pretty much solo with customers. I got to bed at 3am and 1am so tonight is catch up.

I had mixed feelings of sadness and regret in Manchester as more or less exactly one year ago I organised a Valentine's weekend in Manchester with W. It was fab and a highlight (for me) of last year. An overnight stay in a hotel, cocktails followed by a quick valentines meal, followed by a comedy show in Manchester Arena. We also had sex - one of the last times - I remember the lingerie W put on.

Anyway enough of that... W contacted me on Monday by phone, I didn't answer but rang back two hours later as boys about to go to bed. She said 'are you avoiding answering my calls, I said 'no the bar was too noisy!

After talking to the boys, I closed down the convo with W.

Tuesday no contact
Wednesday - text tennis - more or less exclusively about the boys. Again I was saddened as she gave me dates of a holiday in Spain for her and boys in August.

We seem to be dividing up Easter, half term , and the Summer holidays . Both of us taking the boys off on holiday - just separately and the boys no nothing about it. Last year we did all these things as a family - it [censored]!

One piece of good news is that I will be visiting the U.S. In March - Wisconsin - a week of work related stuff.
