I just had a student call and reschedule today's lesson for Wednesday lunchtime. I just realised I have the perfect excuse not to meet H for lunch on my birthday, should he happen to suggest it. I don't really want to meet him. I am doing rather well without significant contact with him, I must say. I have no expectations and so they aren't being dashed!

Looks like I'll have a decent (as in, a good number!) bunch of friends for the lunch next Sunday, plus H's nephew and family are coming down to stay with us for the weekend.

I have stayed in closer touch with them than H has. Does that tell you something? And last time they were here I even invited H down to join us but he declined and preferred to spend the day with his walking friends, the same ones, as it happens, he will be seeing this coming weekend.
