Went to Burford today to see Deborah Dobson.
I have felt rough all day.
Today's the day.
Dave's Diary: October 2004: A moving story of authenticity in the face of oppression and one man's struggle to maintain and respect a child's rights against assault and prejudice in a most dreadful divorce.
I have been up for half an hour and it has subsided (with the help of paracetamol) to being bearable so I can get on.
So I went to bed at about 11 o'clock.
My priority was to get this information prepared for Deborah Dobson.
I didn't read or meditate I simply allowed my thoughts to roam.
It's 08:10 hrs and Marion has taken Helen to school.
Got up this morning and got Helen up.
We also visited Benedicts school open evening, all three of us.
01:50 hrs: It's late Sunday night.
Again Helen indicated that she didn't want me to leave.
It is a lot of money (£200) but it was all part of the original plan.
One of he reasons, it seems to me, is that Marion behaved in a manner that taps right into my past fears that I am left feeling afraid, and confused.
00:25 hrs: And the pain rumbles on.
Went to bed and at about 01:50 hrs I heard Helen crying out.
Got up at 7:30 this morning.
19:00 hrs: Marion is acting odd.
What to do about that?
However - it is 06:50 hrs and I have been up since 5 ish.
There was one incident which gives me pause for thought.
Things have been relatively quiet.
I fetched Helen from Sudbury.
On Thursday I took Helen to Animation Studio in Sudbury.
My XDA told me as I checked to see if it was connecting to the internet as it wasn't last night.
Dave's Diary: November 2004: A moving story of authenticity in the face of oppression and one man's struggle to maintain and respect a child's rights against assault and prejudice in a most dreadful divorce.
Last night was Halloween and we did it.
Two possible reasons.
She came up to my office at about 9:15 p.m.
We all went.
Went to church this morning.
Helen has just woken up in a state of panic.
Oh Mr Einstein.
I woke up at about 6:30 this morning.
We left at about 4 on Friday afternoon.
Managed to get Helen to sleep by 11 last night.
Went to sleep at about 11:45 last night and just woke up at about 4 this morning.
02:00 hrs: Just got off the phone to Dan.
Got up late and got some work done.
Marion added that she had been signed off sick for another four weeks.
I asked Helen who was taking her and she said I was.
I think about this and this is something I see.
Hello Peggy & Deborah
11:00 hrs: Woops - another mysterious phone call.
Got up at about 6:30 this morning and came downstairs.
She said "I don't want to speak to her."
I arrived back here at about 3:30 p.m.
Today we had a mediation session.
Dave's Diary: December 2004: A moving story of authenticity in the face of oppression and one man's struggle to maintain and respect a child's rights against assault and prejudice in a most dreadful divorce.
Have just woken up and am wondering what Marion is now up to.
Today I had to go to the dentist and Helen was having the day off school because of this flu thing.
07:45 hrs: More weirdness.
Well I suppose the good side is that Marion makes me dislike and distrust her more and more.
There is something wrong with me.
Court Case: Financial hearing at 10:45 hrs
Today is Saturday, but I have only just gone to bed.
Today is Sunday, and I have just gone to bed.
I don't believe it but there you go.
I sit here pondering and decide I will write it in the diary.
Just before I get off to mediation I wanted to enter a quote in the diary that I found in an email from Marion to her solicitor.
Well I find Marion so unbelievable.
Helen went to the Theatre with the Johnson's today.
Well it's Monday morning and I've just got up.
So I'm sitting here at 09:30 on Tuesday morning.
Helen has just fallen asleep.
I spoke with Dan for about an hour or so and have wrapped up all the presents for tomorrow (today).
Actually one and a half hours into the new year but...

Dan phoned up at 00:30 hrs.
Helen and I rushed back on 31 Dec because Marion wanted to spend the New Year with her daughter.
I have woken up at 4 in the morning and the only thing on my mind is that Marion is up to something.
Cost: about £30.
Bought a car today.
I had been dreaming.
Hailey and Marcos came for lunch today with their 8 month old daughter Serafina.
Today Marion has taken Helen to the first of two exam days at Grantchester.
What a surprise.
Well time got on until at 9 o'clock I said alright.
She never quite fully woke up but was in some significant distress.
Did very little yesterday.
All's quiet on the Western Front.
Not only has her behaviour given clues to this but she is now considering buying a new car herself.
Last night I had some whisky.
Derek Langdon has taken her.
Marion took Leila and Helen to Grantchester today for the final exam.
Marion has been acting strangely today.

I don't know quite what to think.
The traffic was unbelievable on the way there.
Maybe 20 cls.
It was a nice conversation about allsorts.
He is working on global warming issues in Cambridge.
As a consequence of that decision she got 10 hours sleep.
Helen woke up crying last night.
I have been sitting here pondering.
The time is now 20:37 hrs and Marion has just called the police.
=====email begin
I'm very angry and upset.
