The problem with such infrequent postings ...

... is that when I come to post again, it's hard to know where to start. When I last posted, it was after a period of optimism. But it didn't last. K and I separated on 19th October 2008, teh day after my birthday. We were two weeks short of being together for 24 years. That was over a year ago now, and a lot of water has passed under the bridge. I'm going to try and sort all of that out in my head and put some of it down here. But it's late, and I'm going to have to trust that this time it will be less than a year until my next post!
