More on computer story. W was visiting BIL with the kids and MIL & FIL and was telling them I woudn't lend her the computer. D16 piped up and said you didn't ask if you could borrow it you pretty well demanded it. W said later to D 'did dad say I demanded it', D replied "I was there when you said 'I want that computer for two days'".
W has appears to be quite distant in all interactions with me lately.
Had D9, D11 & S13 for the day today, we had a good time. Library book sale, fish and chips, beach and an hour with these Christidelphians. Would never have dreamed I would be spending time with religious types 12 months ago.
Got back to family home about 5pm and hung out for an hour or so, even made W laugh once or twice.
Seems the more I have no expectations and not holding on to outcomes the better things seem to go.
