Couple of minor things....

My new boss brings chocolate chip cookies into the office, which he likes to share. This makes me like him a lot, but doesn't really help my diet and fitness (non-)campaign. Maybe he's just really really scared of me leaving....

I just received a text message from my ex saying that she wants to go to Edinburgh for a few days with our son while he's on his summer holiday from school. Nothing out of the ordinary about this, until I read the last sentence on her text, which said "Do you want to come?"

Even though we're divorced, I'm very very tempted to say yes. This is actually a pretty major step forward for her, since it means she's prepared to spend a few days in my company, and that hasn't always been the case in the last few years! Mind you, we have had a couple of successful days out this year as a "family unit". I'll call her later and find out more about what she's got in mind, but for now, this is looking hopeful.
