Who knew.......

...... that life could suddenly become become so much fun after months (if not years) of stress.  Have found a bar on the seafront where we can sit on the balcony and watch the world go by beneath us.  We don't drink alcohol anymore so it's tea for Ash and cappuccino for me but the people watching remains the same and there are certainly sights to be seen.  We have begun to have conversations again and he makes me laugh just like he used to.  Not sure if all of this will survive a return to the real world but for now it's enough.
