Moving on.......

Well, guess I seem to have been pretty quiet of late.......WRONG!

I have just been flat out busy. I have been whizzing up and down the highway every weekend to meet up with a friend whom I shall code name NP for new partner!


As most of you know I had retired and moved to the rain forest township of Maydena which is a lovely little town approx 95 kms from Hobart (capital city of Tasmania). I then married the person I was carer for even though there was quite an age difference, and was blissfully happy until he died unexpectedly in August of last year.

New Years Eve saw me sifting through things which had happened over 2010, I looked through my diary and blog and checked out notes on holidays and outings, especially a memorable holiday in Queensland with my grandson for my mums birthday.  I also watched my wedding video from the previous year and our holiday snaps on our belated honeymoon when we went to West Australia and Queensland.  I then read through the condolence messages and cards I received when my hubby died, had a really good cry and put that all away.

January saw me trying to rebuild social networks and get out and about a bit more, I also joined a dating website called Plenty of Fish, put a profile up, said I was interested in email/chat and see where that leads,
nothing serious, just a way of meeting some new people.   Well, January saw me having an interesting afternoon with a very nice gentleman in New Norfolk, we had afternoon tea, looked around the antique shops and went for a walk which was pleasant but nothing more.  Then I met up with another gentleman in February and WOW! He is the loveliest, kindest, nicest man I have come across  (can see some of you turning green...lol)  We met up for a drink on a friday arvo, sat chatting for a couple of hours and agreed to meet up again the following day to go to the pictures to see The King's Speech.   We then met up and watched Avatar together and are seeing each other on a regular basis. He lives in the city so I whizz up and down the highway every weekend as he works every day, but he has been able to get a couple of weekends off and has visiting my place, and had a weekend here over the Easter break and met my friends.  He has my grandson's seal of approval and gets on well with my daughter and extended family and friends. He has even got me barracking for a football team, GO CATS! and we are planning a weekend away soon to Melbourne and going to the football, YAY!  I am really happy it is great to have someone special in my life again, and he is so appreciative of anything you do, compliments me on my cooking, and has a slightly warped sense of humour which is so like mine it is unbelievable.....so will try and update you on a regular basis regard my NP!
