Strange but true: Hannah called Nathan today to ask if he'd like to meet for coffee. It turns out that Jenna – the girl at work that says she saw Nathan cavorting in a nightclub – had made the whole thing up, just to show Hannah how much she misses him. That was the way Jenna explained it, anyway. "Actually she did it to torment me," Hannah says, "Because she's a bitch and a c*** and she's jealous of anyone in a relationship. She has a bad attitude and an awful personality. She also now has a black eye."
Good old Hannah. I have to give her credit for striking out, and also for taking the bull by the horns and calling him in an attempt to maybe patch things up. Obviously all this navel-gazing she's been doing really has paid dividends and really is having an effect on her personality. Shame he didn't answer the phone, or all may have been well again.
We're over with Ted and Beryl tomorrow. They're having a huge get-together for Easter. I think Beryl is approaching 80 and getting worried that she hasn't much time left, so she's having the whole brood over again while she can still cope with the catering. The upside is that it'll be good to see them all again, and there'll be plenty of wine and good cheer. The downside is that Simon will be trying to corner me into a conversation about football, and that there'll almost certainly be another all-in chess tournament, which I'll lose majestically. Mind you, I suppose it'll be a bit of a change - being humiliated by seven members of the family instead of just Ted.
