Traumatic Counselling day as Diana leaves home for Norfolk stay and me helping Debbie work at home on study leave before exams the next day and Della with her sports day on Friday. Louise would now be based in London and not Paris
I was not looking forward to seeing the counsellor with Diana this morning after last night's upset but at first the morning routine went well and I got washed and ready early to be able to accompany Della to the bus stop.
**"Read More" BELOW for the complete story**
Debbie was staying at home on study leave ahead of her last examinations tomorrow and so Della was leaving for school on her own.
This accomplished and Sam walked in the warm and sultry morning air, I made my way back and read my CIX conferences and messages but there was none from Wiggly before it was time to leave.
I did, however, warn her not to book Friday off in view of Della's school sports day. Just about on time for our appointment and a difficult one it as too.
I tried to explain my predicament at being faced with giving up either my love on the one hand and family, home and way of life on the other.
Diana told how impossibly unbearable it was for her to have me at home when I was seeing Wiggly and particularly how terrible it was me expecting her to accept that I would be going on holiday with Wiggly before we had decided to separate.
After this step had ben taken, evidently, it would not be so bad. The hour's interview was just going over and over old ground with the counsellor seemingly taking Diana's view that I was being unreasonable.
We left quite deflated intending to go and have coffee after I had done my transactions at the post office and building society. Whilst I was in the building society,
Di left suddenly and without explanation and I correctly assumed that she had wanted to cry etc. I finished off my things to do in St Neots, looked around in the coffee shops and then assumed correctly that she had walked back on her own.
I tried to console her but failed miserably such that she kept saying that she could not bear to be with me.
She wanted me to go there and then as she thought that she would otherwise spend every day this week begging me not to go.
I was reluctant to go as Debbie's final two examinations were tomorrow and there was all manner of other things that we needed to do.
She then decided that she would go and, despite my trying to stop her and offering to go instead, she was now set and within a few minutes had packed and was going out of the door.
I had Debbie upstairs revising and Bill in the garden but they did not seem to notice as I continued in vein to try and stop her.
Faced with her having gone, I went up and chatted to Debbie to make sure that she was all right and could fend for lunch herself and then I called Wiggly and drove over to have lunch with her.
She had emailed me my this time to say that there was nobody in the office and would have gone running if there was not a better offer and so now she had one.
I first listened to her news. It had been the bitchiness of the other visiting players in the audience that had caused the flatness of the performance but they had a good party afterwards with her and Michael coming back with his friend ahead of the others so that she could get a good sleep.
They had driven home at 4.00am and then she had slept and lay in until 2.00pm to make up for this! The rest of her day tidying up, doing both housework and casework in equal measure and also managing to visit the gym.
In the office today, she had been dropped in it by her boss taking an instant day's holiday when some senior executives were due to come round.
However, the good news was that she had heard back from Agnes that she would be wanted for a secondment and could be based in London rather than Paris which they thought would be a disappointment but, of course, suited her down to the ground.
In fact, she thought that she could probably swing it to work from home with mobile phone, computer and modem which would be even better.
She was quite surprised to hear my news and we chatted about the options after trying to work out what was in her mind. She told me about a riverside property in St Neots which I checked out afterwards but it did not have a garage or space for Sam.
A nice lunch of steaks and then she back to work and me to my problems via the estate agents in St Neots. The rest of the afternoon preparing tea of pancake mixture and then taking Sam for a walk until it was time to cook them.
These went down well and, after doing the washing up, making everybody's sandwiches for the morning and helping Della prepare for her day out on a school trip and Debbie with her Chemistry revision, I updated these last two days eventful journal.
A call from Wiggly, who had finished early from her Planning Committee and then, after she had gone to the gym and I had done some more work, I went to se her for an hours drinking and lovemaking afterwards.
Back home without having to worry and a night's sleep, wondering about Diana's welfare.
