hot & cold...

Today's thought was that maybe after all she is faithful to her husband, she just wants a bit of harmless flirty fun and a few days out and my ideas about her and others are a mixture of paranoia and office gossip.

That would explain a certain amount - and make me feel a lot better about not getting anywhere. But I can't quite fit her wish to rent a room from me in with that. How many reasons could there possibly be for a married woman to want to rent a room on the other side of London from her house?

No I think the worst case scenario remains the most plausible.

Working on other distractions - I sent a text message to Jenny just saying "Hi!" to see if she'd reply so I could suggest next time she visits London she comes just to see me. No reply. Hmm. I'm planning to ring Mrs K's sister shortly and invite her out for coffee tomorow after work. We have a fewthings to discuss anyway - financial affairs and so on. And I'm pondering the idea of calling our former office manager Rosina and asking her to have dinner one evening. Give her the choice between that and having her number deleted from my mobile. Again, not to attempt a seduction, just to remind me that there are other attractive women in the world.
