nice from far
Saw a seriously dishy guy today during long airport wait - our eyes met, we half-smiled, did that thing, you know, where you widen your eyes slightly oooh you look interesting. He was with someone, though, her back turned, very slender, VERY brown. When she turned round she was so sunbeaten and wrinkled she looked 90 but the main thing that spoiled her looks was the fading black eye.Funny, he suddenly didn't look so good either.
I met a surprising number of women on this holiday who moved to Spain with a guy, it went sour, but they've stayed. Also met a couple who met online 9 years ago, married, and look great and happy. I mention that because they were a little older than I am now when they met. Nice to know it can happen and there ARE keepers out there!
That sort of makes up for the thumpers. That's why I told both stories.

Surprisingly nice to be back. And so nice to not be relying on a wavering erratic signal!
Apparently I ruined her life from the minute I was born. She explained in great detail for 7 days on the trot. I feel a heel.
Walked the dog in misty rain - she wasn't that keen on the idea, but I insisted. Cool again!!!!
I may even put on a jersey later. Right now, loving the fingertips turning blue.
(Z prepares to leave the country for indefinite holiday elsewhere
She wasn't unfriendly or even that hostile. Just reproachful. And determined to tell me every detail.
But she has great friends, ages 40 to 70, and boy do ex-pats know how to party
Sure! It can happen for you too.
By the way!
A close friend of mines, mother is getting married next month. Her mother is 82 years of age. And her soon to be husband is that age as well. He lives in California! And she will be relocating there! And her daughter will be taking over her mother's home here.
So! It can happen for you too!____
My father wanted to marry for the 4th time but her kids said no, Mum, live in sin. My dad was 82 and his GF was 83. They did.
Just as well, 2 half-sisters, a brother, a stepsister and a stepbrother was enough without another 4 stepbrothers
And believe me it feels like a year since I left. A YEAR. It was a gruelling holiday
Joy, back to work tomorrow ...
I fell in love for the first time in Venice (I was a spotty 15 year old and it was more of a heavy one-sided crush) but to me it is the most romantic country in the world. I hope to go again one day with someone pretty special.
Or with a chameleon. I've dated one. They really are good company. Didn't think of him as that of course, but I do rather like the term now that it has been coined.
ITALIAN MOTHER
Giuseppe excitedly tells his mother he's fallen in love and that he is going to get married.
He says, 'Just for fun, Mama, I’m going to bring over three women and you try and guess which one I'm going to marry.' The mother agrees.
The next day, he brings three beautiful women into the house, sits them down on the couch & they chat for a while.
He then says, 'Okay, Mama, guess which one I'm going to marry?'
Mama says immediately, 'The one on the right. '
'That's amazing, Mama. You're right. How did you know? '
Mama replies: 'I don't like her.'
you do have sharp eyes!!
