Thanks Feyth & Hi all. I lurk and post a little but don't feel there's a great deal to update. Been busy settling in to the house and doing some decorating. It's a nice place to live and is starting to get a little of the Sotto style.

Been busy at work. Boss and I had a chat today. He's been trying to talk me into a promotion and a few more hours. I have some trepidation, but agreed to give it a go!

Still in touch with NG and still like him and find him a little frustrating too. He always seems warm and initiates in person - and responds to my weekly or so texts to say Hi - but then doesn't really initiate anything otherwise.

So, I juggle a bit of frustration along with feeling it's good for me to wait anyway - a year after D is a good plan etc..I feel maybe I initiate a little too much and could do with sitting back a little more. Have I not learned the art of patience yet?

Still salsa-ing and yoga-ing, stuff with friends, bookstore etc etc...and generally feel positive about life and pretty grounded. Not heard from XH at all and he doesn't really get much of my headspace either. Just the odd thing that reminds me of him and the odd bit of rumination.

We've been nominated for some awards at work, so I'm invited to a posh frock dinner in a few weeks, should be nice. Next D group will also start in a month or so, where I think I'll be shadowing other facilitators - should be interesting.

Any ways - that's it from me for now and thanks for reading xx
