Today I have moved in to 6A South Street. Seems The Bears time as a couple has come to an end. Our age difference has become “a thing”. Different headspace and all that. Alice is not happy and prepared to carry on as just best friends, I can’t give her what she needs. Emotionally, physically. To get from Alice stating she can’t carry on as we are to acceptance of that has been a journey. Time together in the house, evenings talking, hugs and tears before I leave.
We remain friends. A more amicable separation you couldn’t imagine. Maybe that proves something. Not sure that is a good something or not a good something.
It will turn in to something else though.
How is it? Hired van, filled, drove to flat. Alice follows and helps me unload. Of course then suggests where everything should go….😆
Quite a long one, starting Xmas morning around 2.30 am with Reuben bursting in to our bedroom saying he had a surprise. In staggers Jacob having been missing in action for 3 months round east Asia and told Alice he wasn’t coming back for Christmas. So fabulous present for Mrs B.Lunch at Mallards, Alice, M , Mike X 2, G X 2 and Charlie, good mix, great food, too much wine. For me at least as Alice drove home.Boxing day quiet, coffee at East17.
