Hi aussie2

Guess all the other Brits are out enjoying our one day of summer LOL.

Stupid country - I had to take my winter coat out of the closet last week, and here we are today in 80 degree heat!

Typical Brit, talking about the weather.

My thoughts on OW today are: I am skinnier than her! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My thoughts on OW today are... I pity her, she has to live with secrets all her life (her H doesn't know about this A and the previous one) - and I'm free !

Hello yerpeens and fellow nightshifters !

Alphs right - I've been busy today. Gardening before it got too hot, then cooking a BBQ and playing with the kids.

Had a full on row with Squid over some thoughtless [censored] and it felt GOOD !

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And amazing for both of us, we;re not sulking now. A row of that proportion before her affair would have led to weeks of silence.

Small silver lining to a large brown cloud I guess !

I'll check in later or tomorrow with you guys !

Enjoy your lives this weekend !

* Gosia Vilkommen ! OF course you;re welcome ! Where from in Germany ? I'm a brit but I work there a lot.

BTW I don;t want to 'down' the thread but my thoughts on OM today : " My kids love and respect me and I'll have a great fathers day, yours think you're low scum. "

Made me feel good till I remembered his one estranged son died last year. It will be hard for him tomorrow. I loathe the scumbag but even I can't take pleasure in the man grieving a child.

Thanks Alphin, I really have never given her much time. All my hurt, anger, despair and disappointment have been pretty much directed at my WH. We live in Asia. It is a scenario that you laugh at when you arrive. The older Western guy with a LBFM on his arm (little brown f***ing machine). She is typical of so many women out here but he was meant to be special.TT

I am an american that lives in South East England with my English husband. We actually met in Paris. He and I have never delt with an affair in our relationship.

My former partner cheated on me. I still find I visit MB to help out people from time to time. So like SOL I am an expat.

Hello Yerpeen friends and expats ! I hope you all are having as wonderful a father Days Sunday as I am !

Lost...I work in Vienna ocasionally - 1 or 2 times per year !

I Always look forward to it. I seem to have adventures in Vienna for some reason ! Meeting unusual people in unsual places.

Vienna is the HQ of our CEMA ( Central Europe, emerging markets) operation so I'll have to visit again soon.

* Strong, glad you had a perfect day for motorcycling !

We spent the last few Christmases in the Florida Keys and I always envy the folks who trawl the overseas highway on a Harley. They#'re gtreat everywhere but even more 'right' in that dusty, American setting !

I boroowed our hosts' Harley v-rod to pick up supplies from our nearest publix - GORGEOUS looking thing, but abit civlised for a Harley IMO.

Having said that I'd have one in a heartbeat <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I rode into a skip at hugh speed some years ago and nearly died ( I lost an inch in height, gained pins in a few places and a permanent limp) and I can;t really justify owing a bike anymore. Before you laugh BTW, the skip was covered in a black tarpaulin with no lights nearby and it was a rainy night. I didn't even brake, just hit the skip. Still it got me the deposit for our first home from the court case !

* Hi I'm New Too ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great that you stop by to help folks out !

For me, It feels 'right' to try to pass on a little of the enormous hope I got from this place.

Enjoy the lovely summers day today !

* all

My Squid arranged to referee a karte competition today - fathers day - when she knows its a serious trigger for me. She loves her sport ( Karate) and this childrens tournament would have been cancelled if it was not for her volunteering last minute ( aparrently like I give a [censored] about ANYTHING TO DO with karate ! (Squid had her affair with the UK 'king' of karate)).

I made my displeasure known VERY STRONGLY. Squids backed out as much as she can, doing only the morning sessions now, and she has booked a restaurant for us this evening for Fathers day. Huge progress for Squid, but still far to go.

So I have this lovely day to play with my kids an laze in teh sun. Tough gig huh ? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

V-Rods aren't quite grungy enough are they <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> After picking up the bikes yesterday I had to be on the cake stall at the school fete. Hubby and my father took the bikes to school to join a couple of others (a Fat Boy and an 1100 Jap bike) giving bike rides around the netball courts. They had a blast!

The cakes melted <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hubby hasn't ridden in 10 years and his arms are feeling it today. He has apehanger handlebars which give the bike a slight chop feel....he's not used to that riding position!


I hope tonights meal is a wonderful father's day treat for you Bob.

I'm about to set up the water slide for the kids and make a brunch for hubby and I. Enjoy the wonderful weather everyone!
