Denise has gone to Perth to see the messiah which gave me a chance to do some Christmas shopping and meet Jessie for some girly clothes shopping and a light lunch which turned out to be a very enjoyable visit to Alforno and lunch with two of Jessie&#8217;s friends which was lovely, nice people who must be thinking &#8220;what is going on here&#8221; but didn&#8217;t say anything. Jessie mentioned that she had bought something for me and but wanted me to open it at home with her so we arranged to meet at ours a little later and she gave me the most beautiful dress, sadly it was a 14 and didn&#8217;t fit but it was amazing, reds purples, black and white, quite floral and a lovely cut so I look forward to trying the 16 on sometime this week, can&#8217;t wait!. Jessie and I had a real heart to heart, she talked about Nick and how she is hurting but knows it&#8217;s the right decision to stay parted, we talked about my feelings about my parents and how if I&#8217;m not careful it will turn to a bitterness which will not be good for me. Considering there is over 30 years between us we have a real connection and both bared our hearts today, I love her dearly in a sort of protective way, she is so tactile and generous with her love for me, it&#8217;s very special!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have looked forward to today for a while!
