After the storm - calm is restored.

Nice day isn't it? I am feeling much better again :o)

As much as I am still niggled by a varying multitude of things I am resolute not to let them drag me down. I had a strange encounter today where my friend came over for coffee - it's funny we haven't done that for months yet it used to be a regular thing - we go way way back and she is a great mate but she is, if anything, in a worse dilemma to myself - she and her ex partner have obviously by the presence of the prefix 'ex' split up but they have a shared house, mortgage and child together yet live separate lives in the same world but remains somewhat sane. I'm glad that I can take her mind of things for an hour or so. Consider my good deed for the day done and to an extent so has hers.

As she arrived and I put the kettle on and it was weird as the last time we had coffee both our situations were exactly as they are now - the last 12 months don't seem to have happened at all! I even joked by starting our chat 'Now where were we....'

I took my mums dog for a walk and we had a nice little stroll with her sniffing and rummaging in the undergrowth all the way - so instead of my usual 'Terminator' stride it was very much a perambulation today.

Very little else I want to share at the moment other than this; there is nothing NOTHING quite like experiencing watching or being present at the one you love falling asleep at the end of the day. There's a quite indescribable feeling of being the last person you speak to and the last person being with you guarding you into the night. Slushy? maybe, but sue me; I don't care. I'm a romantic and ever will be and if that's so bad then shoot me now, because if that's so wrong then I don't want to be right.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.........
