Entry 365
Cultural event
5/6
Milton called today. I'm honestly rather hurt that I haven't heard from him since Gran's funeral in December. In case you didn't read the above date, it is now June. He claims to be very busy. He says his "handler" is a task master. I reminded him who he's sworn loyalty to. And that in the United Kingdom there is no conscription and he joined HM's service of his own choosing. I don't think he expected my bitterness. I've wanted to tell him about Rory. He and René are about the only people I can tell.
Or I thought. I did not end up telling Milton.
I should explain also that his call came while Rory and I were at the Equestrian Center.
My diary is clear all week so that Rory and I can redouble our efforts for the derby this Friday.
Not all training however is horseback. And we did a bit of "stamina training" when we got back to St. James's. I'm still a bit... open. As soon as Rory finishes in the shower, it's my turn. Then right to bed.
