What shall tell them you're doing?

I turned down aninvitation to dine this evening with his family. What shall I tell them you're doing? Sigh .... tell them we're just 'fucking friends' til you find someone you can commit to. You'll only have to tell them once and probably the word will fly around. Surprised laughter. Well, tell them what you like, just don't say it's MY fault! Thanked him for a lovely day today, by text, on way home and got a reply, "It didn't have to end so soon." Yes it did ... It's self preservation. I don't want to build any further on family/social relationships which will end with our relationship. Yes, normally one does but when you know the relationship's going down the toobs, it does seem rather pointless to involve others in it, who'll also get hit by the flack. I had a really bouncy day, yesterday. Took a picture to be framed, wrote a list and actually managed to do everything on it, including getting four library books, so I have my choice of Margaret Yorke, Iris Johansen or Patricia Reich this evening as I munch my sandwich and drink a cup of tea. Don't have to get up early tomorrow. One more bank holiday day, yayyyyyy!
