Love your writing.

Sorry it took so long. Mind you it took nearly as long to scroll through all these comments! Blimey! When do you find time to breathe???

Wishing you loads of luck with the book. You’re getting lots of really good advance publicity in UK.

Linked to you by the way. Presume that’s ok?

Well the update is that we have told everyone involved now. He told his sister and I told the ex plus 1. The sister took it wonderfully well and just laughed about the ridiculousness of the whole situation. So much so that she told Ex plus one to calm down and stoping being such a baby. Ex plus 1 lost the plot with me. I was totally unprepared for his outrage and well, viciousness. As he started to loose his cool the focus of his anger shifted from me seeing the Boy to me still being friends with ‘his’ friends. There are a few who I developed good friendships with during the four years we were together. We seem to have been quite a few of the same parties recently and I am going to his best friends wedding soon. He is not impressed, phrases like ‘but they were my friends first’ peppered the conversation. As I was listening to this I was asking myself what I ever saw in this childish and selfish man? It’s quite interesting to be experienceing the antithesis (hopefully) of what Petite is going through with Mr. Frog’s friends.

So…..stayed over in the boy’s house during the week (we thought no one else was home) and when I was going to the shower the next morning I heard a very familiar voice in the next room…….

If you believe that you can ‘fake it to make it’, this is certainly true in our case: from our initial efforts has developed a great relationship: we are now good friends, acknowledge that we are both nicer people for being apart and we meet up, with and without our offspring, to break bread and catch up, with no desire whatsoever for each other, or to be back together again. We’re just good mates with a big slice of shared history and talk about everything, including our present partners (with limitations!)

When we had lunch this week, my ex was bemoaning the fact that he needed a holiday and had no-one he wanted to go away with….and then he said his ideal holiday companion would be me! What a lovely compliment and what a long way we have come!

Surely, if Petite and Mr. Frog are developing a relationship which works and is enjoyable with and without Tadpole, this can only be a good thing, for them and for her?

Hope it goes well, Petite, and that you are having a great time.

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise from a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while
You belong to me.

See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souveneirs
Just remember when I dream of you
You belong to me.

It sounds much better to music and in Dylan’s dulcet tones but you get the idea, I’m sure, I thought it was rather appropriate considering where Petite is but I was also thinking of Dave of the Lake…if your partner springs to mind when you see these words then you are definitely with the right person so keep at it. And for anyone who thinks this is their song, your wrong, it belongs to me and my partner.
