Thanks for the comments guys. NG is away for a couple of weeks with his kids, so haven't been in touch with him at all. Been busy at work and just trying to get my new place comfortable. Less social stuff but still some.

Heard from date guy. He suggested an event that I couldn't make. I dropped him a note to tell him about another event I went to. Not heard back from him since then, and not thought about it much to be honest.

Last week would have been our wedding anniversary. I noticed the date coming up and thought about it ahead of time. But on the day, I truly did not realise or think about it until 5pm - genuinely - who would have thought!! Anniversary 1 I spent in bed with a virus generally feeling awful. I can't recall anniversary 2, but it was tons better - and this one truly - wow!

Hosting a party next week and have a dance event too. Tried a couple of new dance things and a new fitness class - both local to my new place. Also been catching up with my good friend who lives close by to the new flat - so all good really. In a good place.

Been thinking some more about the whole dating thing. And really, there is lots to love about being single and enjoying some fun things - friends, family, activities - with only you to please. Cali's comments about elephants on rollerskates has also stayed with me. Thanks for that one Cali, you have a talent for beautiful descriptions! I don't feel that way myself, but it was good to understand that my date might...

Anyway, very best wishes to my lovely DB friends - live, love, laugh - and move forward in your lives in the best way possible.. Xxx
