DV - how lovely it is to hear from you. And I can see you're doing great. You give me hope smile

Yes, I'm glad I reached out to mum too. I could feel the love in her voice. Her tentative I love you and I miss you. I will check in on her after I write you this note. She is not the woman she was. I suspect there are a lot of regrets there.

I went to Croatia last year remember. That was the adventure holiday with a travel group (about 15 of us) - we didn't stay in the same place more than once, hiking or exploring during the day followed by long drunken dinners at night. This time it is a sit in one place and maybe a glass of wine/beer with dinner. Did you see the 'travel buddy' posts between Yail and I. You can join our virtual travel buddy group. We can post each time we visit a new place and pretend that we three (and anyone else who wants to join) is there with us.

You and your 'candidates' smile. You make me laugh. I still find the whole thing a bit tedious but am giving it a (half hearted) try. I have something set up for next Saturday. Fingers crossed. I have drinks booked with the 'boy' (you remember the work flirtation - well that ended up becoming a genuine friendship) which I'm looking more forward to than the first date on Saturday. I think I am destined for a life where every male I know ends up in the 'friend' column.

On the H front. He came around today and I have to say, he is looking rather tubby these days smile. Though still tanned and gorgeous. Still an @rse though.
