This entry in my diary is short because I’m literally drowning in work at the moment. This little brass elephant looks happier than I feel but I didn’t want you to think I’m ungrateful.

I may come back to it tomorrow and explain a bit more but for now a symbolic photo and an apology for not keeping up with my correspondence but there is something I need to do.

There is a man waiting for me downstairs – a very special man and I want to spend what little there is left of the evening with him after I’ve been working for twelve hours again today. I promised I’d never give him the excuse that my ex-husband had (me working long hours and being away all the time) to ‘seek his pleasures elsewhere’ and I intend to keep my promise. We have to be apart next week but for now this is his time.
