H rang this evening, usually he rings every second day to speak to D. He already spoke to her yesterday.
He started to tell me about his day. (Oh yes, before I forget, he rang earlier to ask for some help with the job he was doing and I was able to provide it.) He mentioned a new shower fitting, and that his house was really clean now. (In the past even D has said it is NOT very clean.) Said he had had lunch with w3 and her boyfriend.
Since he has not so far mentioned anything about confirming the Easter plans, I asked if he had spoken to the landlords. He said, next weekend was on, he had not talked about Easter. What a surprise. If I remind him, he flares up at my nagging. I didn't say anything. He said, maybe I'll just have her over the weekend part (backtracking from the full five days?)
I said, I will be home on the last two days as I am expecting guests. Before that I will be away for a couple of days. H immediately asked, oh yes, where? I told him I was staying with friends in the hills (his friends too) and he said, oh nice. Told him I was cycling up. He commented it was a good time of year, not too hot for the climb. I agreed.
Then he asked to speak to D.
Basically, I am friendly enough, but NOT pushy or needy in any way.
I have been invited by older guy to go out this Sunday, about an hour's or more drive away, for lunch and a walk. I may take him up on his offer. Only thing is, usually D arrives back quite early, around 4.30 or even earlier. I need to make it clear that she is not to turn up too early, as it really cramps my ability to go away and do anything.
Oh yes, my friend rang today, all chirpy and friendly, as if nothing had happened between us last week. I hadn't contacted her these last few days, except to say something about work. I was just mulling over stuff and didn't want to jump in to say anything without forethought.
