Quick note cos it's late and I'm tired.

Ex wife came round this evening, shut the kitchen door and announced that she'd seen the error of her ways. Clocks stopped, birds fell from trees, jaws dropped across a two mile radius......

I kept a straight face and accepted it for what it was - good news at last.

She'd spent some time with her idiot ex boyfriend and decided that - at heart - he was still the same nasty piece of work that fucked her up last time. If not worse. Apparently he had a rant to her about me, along with his recently dumped girlfriend and some of our mates who he never liked. Bizarre, I only met him once and was quite nice, in the circumstances.

She's going to try and patch things up with the last bloke she was seeing, who according to everyone who knows him, is a decent chap.

That's a relief, a big dull weight off my mind.

On with the rest of life.

My son's ill, coughed so much today his chest hurts. Hope it's just a cold, nothing worse. He's in that "underlying health problems" category that worries doctors when it comes to swine flu. So fingers crossed that the good news thing stretches out a bit longer.
