Hello again,

I emailed H my thanks, and sent along a couple of digital snaps that I took and a drawing from D. H replied with thanks for the drawing and praise for it.

H has said all along that he wants friendship with me - right from the time of the bomb. It could be all that he wants right now, of course.

I have to keep my expectations LOW LOW LOW, and get on with my life in good spirits as if he is not in my life, when we are not together.

I have got to keep the presssure off him by not being 'too' friendly at this stage. I couldn't help ending my email with a 'x' by my name, and wonder if this constitutes pushiness? He did not reply in kind!

Then again, I include xxxxs with many of my friends!

Thanks for all your visits folks.

Betsey, yes, your point about jealousy is well taken. I had a word with D last night, basically said that things between H and I were delicate, and that she should try to allow us some space when all three of us are up there - just good manners really. But I have to make sure she doesn't get sucked in to feeling as if she is in any way responsible for the R between H and myself.
