Being apart does not mean we don't share our lives. We work hard at keeping in close contact every day. We share our joys and upsets. As part of this we agreed that I should buy a car. Not just any car but a Jaguar. It is my new pet and it takes up all the spare time in my life right now. Time that otherwise could be spent in less productive ways. It is an older model that will take many months to bring up to standard. I have all summer to do that.
It has meant my budget has changed but in no way has it affected the money we save at home. This was crucial in our thinking. There is no point in me being here just to spend money!!!!! It is a tough balance sometimes but the sacrifices are well worth making. I have a new hobby and a new spring in my step.
When Marilyn arrives in Montreal next week I will be there to pick her up in the Jaguar. I know she will be happy that I am happy. We will have a really nice few weeks together that we need so much. The car will take second seat to that .......
Mike
