Much to my surprise, on Tuesday 10th, Anne sent me an email cancelling our weekly dinners. Later that day, however we exchanged messages of mutual esteem so the split was peaceful, which I value.
So in recent weeks I have lost 3 lady friends: JH, JD and Anne, which sounds distinctly careless
As the split with Anne was unexpected, the effect on my mood was potentially adverse so Joe stayed overnight at my place to give me company. We had a good night together, mainly talking and watching classical music videos, so that immediately lifted my spirits and I have been in good spirits since
So Anne dines most nights with her obliging partner, George Eakins, and I dine most nights with my obliging ex-wife Jenny. Jenny is, as ever, an excellent cook so I get dinners derived from an international range of cuisines. George is a Seventh Day Adventist so Anne cooks him vegetarian dinners.
Jenny and I have in recent days been on a couple of outings in her new and well-appointed Hyundai car. We dropped in on a couple of Op-shops along the way and I found two shirts that suited me well. Jenny bought more cookbooks for her collection.
On Saturday night she is cooking and bringing over to me some Larb Moo, a Thai dish we both like. I normally go over to her place for dinner, a 15 minute drive away.

Anne is 75, I am 77, Jenny is 68 and George says he is 75, though he looks more like 60 to me
I wish I could say goodbye as gracefully as the pair below do
EPILOGUE
The Larb moo was excellent!
