Never did go for that walk. Went round, Liam made us lunch (he used to be chef) and we sat in the garden in warm autumn sun, chatting. Did our respective school runs, and he invited B & I for dinner. Thence local pub garden and all eve chatting over wine.
Hung out again today, in bed all morning then cafe lunch and coffee. Very nice and relaxing. Guess he's lonely too. Time out tonight, which is fine also.
B missing doting grandparents & L's son, his best friend. Handy that, and the 7 yr old daughter is nice too, when not sulking because she feels left out.
Children, children. Three isn't an easy number, but its far too early to add a 4th!
