He said he's seeing someone new

[Ophelia]

Don't know if this could be classified as an interesting development or not, but H's mobile phone bill got delivered here yesterday. At least I think it's his mobile bill, (haven't opened it), because it's from the phone company and is the same thickness as his mobile bills usually are.

I know for a fact that he had the mobile, home phone, and internet bills, (all through the same company) on an automatic payment thing. When he was looking into getting his name taken off the home phone account, (I still haven't filled in those forms), he told me that he'd spoken to them and had the auto payment for the home phone and internet switched off, seeing as how he wasn't gonna be paying them anymore. I had assumed that at the same time, he would have gotten the address on his mobile bill switched so that they went to his parents' place instead of coming here.

So either he did ask them to do that and they've made a mistake in sending it here. Or he didn't ask them to change the address, and if so, then I've gotta wonder why.

I haven't opened it. I've opened his previous couple of mobile bills that have come here since he left, just to check that they were his bills, and not one that I should be paying. Haven't done the same with this one....yet. I'm totally itching too, though, just to see if there's a certain number that pops up repeatedly. Not that it'd do me much good if there was, because I still wouldn't know who the number belonged to. Must. Resist. Urge. To. Snoop!

You are right. It is breathtakingly beautiful!
Going to put that on a list of things to do.

The whole of NZ is gorgeous, and well worth a visit. We covered a pretty huge area on that trip. We started in Auckland and drove SE through the countryside with rolling green hills. We went to thermal reserves and saw everything from bubbling pools of mud to geysers. We went to that location I posted the link to, which was like being on another planet. We walked through rainforests, saw waterfalls, went on a boat ride through caves with millions of glowworms covering the ceiling! We climbed up part of a volcano. We went to the South Island and visited H's aunt and uncle, (MIL is from NZ), then went whale watching. You can stand on the beach and turn around and see snowcapped mountains. Totally trippy! We drove through remote, open plains covered in dry grass, and through forests of massive trees. We got in a little plane and flew over part of the Southern Alps. We'd stayed that night in Wanaka, (a little skiing village near Queenstown, but we were there in summer), and the place we were staying had a view right out over the lake, with the mountains (the ones we flew over the next day) as the backdrop. I've got a glorious photo of the sunset in that spot.
(Edited to add that I dug up a couple of our Wanaka photos:
This one is the sunlight shining on the lake.
This one is the sunset. The high, pointy mountain is Mt Aspiring. That's the one we flew over the top of in a little plane the following day.)

Reading about your memories has brought a smile across my face. I can sense the geniune happiness you must had shared in your travels. My H and I have always travelled with friends or family. We don't have that many just the two of us moments to recall. I am sorry those moments are bittersweet now.

The other big trip we did together was our honeymoon. Had a few days in Hong Kong, then flew to the UK. A few days in London, then about a week driving around the south of England. Then we hopped over to Ireland and drove around there for a week or so, too. All these wonderful places I've seen, but when I think about them now, I just feel that pang of sadness because it's something we did together.

Bombs away, I say!!!

I am sure I can find info online on how to make the bombs.

I'm sure we could! I went shopping for my mum's b'day present yesterday, (it's her b'day on VDay), and had to look at all the love hearts everywhere.

I agree it is a great idea. It will make him look deeper into his reality of the situation.

Here's hoping that's the reaction he'll have. It's been raining here for a past couple of days. If it keeps up tomorrow, football might end up being cancelled, so B won't be able to go and interact with H afterall. Will let you know what ends up happening though.

That is a good idea. Prompt him to give more thought to the matter and I might try your Father's suggestion.

I like dad's suggestion too, I'm just worried that it might get me in deep doo doo if I just ignore the letter. We're gonna finish up the letter tomorrow and that way they should get it on deadline day. I really wish I could just ask him to drop this legal crap, because it's so unecessary, but the best I can do right now is just try to draw the process out for a little bit longer.
