I sent W a text saying I was happy her mother was going home today and, given the circumstances, I'd lend her the car. She rang immediately. She asked did I want to go with her. No thanks. Would son want to go? Doubted it as has a basketball match I suggested she could go with her sister.She said her sister suggested me!She started asking about the exchange visit and revealed she had been following the mums phone group (which I knew anyway). She remarked that I was very sociable now and noticed I was going to meet them for a coffee, lucky mums (her comment) We talked about S's school and a couple of shared phone contracts she had changed for us. When she started onto how are you? I replied fine but I need to make S's lunch and collect him from school. Take care and bye. Seems to me W still living in cloud cuckoo land (and her sister). Why would I want to spend hours in a car with her there and back, then spend a weekend with family and friends as if nothing has happened? I hope I handled it well enough.
