Hi, Nick!

Not long to go now!

I’m so looking forward to seeing you next week. No, you’re most definitely not imposing by asking me to help you. It will be fun, I’m sure. We have a lot to catch up on. I think you’re going to like living here again. It’s April, and there’s a hint of warmth in the air and spring flowers are everywhere. The whole neighbourhood smells of creole cooking and freesias. There are daffodils and tulips on the stalls, and yes, I talk too much about flowers, don’t I? Sorry.

I’ve managed to score a babysitter, so I can help the whole day if you need me to. Would you like me to bring something over for lunch?

Send me the details of where to meet.

One thing, I’m not sure you’ll recognise me. Just so you know, the grief diet didn’t go quite the way it does for a lot of women. I have a tendency to comfort eat, so don’t be surprised when you see me. You have been warned. I will understand the subtext of ‘You look well’.

In other news, Evie is starting to show major talents on the dancing front (Not! Unfortunately, she takes after her mother with two left feet and being totally un-co). Her ballet tots teacher has picked her to be the ‘magical tree’ for the Mayday show. It’s a major role showcasing Evie’s innate ability to sway right and left and jump up and down on the spot like a heifer (and all out of time to the music). She’s very excited, and I’ve managed to convince her that the magical tree in Cinderella is a hugely important thing to be, even if there’s no mention of it in any of the fairy-tale books we own.

Ah, well, if dancing isn’t for her (I don’t think it is!), she definitely has a future in arboreal-themed slapstick comedy. I hope you’ll get to meet her one day. I’m sure you will, once things have settled down a little for you.

Are you looking forward to your new job? It must be exciting to have a change, although police work can’t really be all that different to being a soldier these days, right? (I’m only partly joking—the London streets can be pretty scary these days).

So, I’ll see you on Sunday, then. I’m pumping iron to make sure my biceps are strong enough for the furniture lugging. (Joke! But seriously, lifting flowers all day doesn’t exactly tax the muscles!)

Excited! (About moving furniture? Clearly, I don’t get out nearly as often as I should!)
