Lovely noters, thankyou!!

What a joy to pop into OD and see such lovely notes, thankyou. Smiling.

I hope you are all good and doin well.

I am teaching 3 days a week – adult classes – team teaching – thank goodness – with a lovely lady who has the same way of thinking as me but much more expertise in the subject!!

Soon will be doing care work again too for the other two days of the working week, but these hours are all releif work, which is good as I couldn’t keep them up permanently!

The property settlement is not happening at all… I do really try not to be bitchy.. but have to admit that if he does end up having to be on the receiving end of the consequences of not complying with the law I will not have sympathetic feelings.

I have no sympathy now for him having lost any respect or affection his children may still have harboured for him. He has brought it on himself so completely and obviously and publicly now that I can now hold my head up with dignity at all local public occasions and he is too frightened to even attend them. Serves him right. And I didn’t have to say a single word. Circumstances speak louder than his lies.

My funny and brainy engineer man is an absolute darling who worships the ground I walk on, and couldn’t help me more if he tried.

This makes me very happy… it also makes me happy that I seem to have infected him with my interest in classic wooden boats.. although his interest is more in the design and craftmanship, while mine is in the looks and performance we both can spend hours drooling over photos of them. Hee hee. I don’t know that he would ever swap one of his restored VWs for one though…. his first love.

Bought a magazine called Classic Wooden Boats or something and found a Tumlin… and realised that was where my ‘imprinting’ occured… my Dad used to take me out in a bassinet on one of these when I was a baby. One of my earliest memories was of him putting sandpaper in my hand and showing my how to sand her hull, with the grain… I must have only been about 4!! Couldn’t even reach! haha. But her name was Celeste II and she had a canoe stern and looked like a peice of furniture… I loved her at first sight.

My boys are struggling along…. our current accomodation and finances are very insecure… but we do have a week off in 10 days or so that I am trying to plan a bit of a ‘get away’. Hoping my engineer might be able to join us for some of it, but he’s got a busy small business that is hard to escape from….

But we manage, muddling along, and making DAMN sure I get my ME time in… life is far too short… not to enjoy …

Oh… and I’ve just enrolled in yet another course of study… (there goes my ME time haha)

Love to all, and thanks again for the lovely notes!! 🙂 byee
