Last weekend I did a bit of GAL, met some new people via a friend of mine. We had a few drinks and a chat on Saturday night. It was fun to talk to new people for the first time in over a year. My friend texted me after to say that a couple of the women I chatted with thought I was a real gentlemen. Don't have contact details but maybe something to follow up in the New Year On Sunday I lunched with W's aunt and my sister-in-law turned up by surprise. W and OM ( who used to be W's boss) are using sister-in-law to front a new shop as his old one is closing down and he owes plenty of money to people. His flat isn't even in his name. Not my problem what they get up to. W resurfaced to ask if she could collect books she left behind . I took the remaining books down to the flat's garage so she doesn't have to enter the flat. Tomorrow she is eating with S so I suggested she collect them then. Today she texted to ask about ideas for Xmas presents for S. Gave her a couple of ideas, making it clear that I'll get something from me. She asked did I want to come for lunch with her and S tomorrow as the next day S and I are off to my parents for Xmas. Haven't replied but I don't think it would be a good idea.
