Change? oo-er.
This rush of blogs about the change in layout got me to wondering why so many of us resist change. And what will we do if we meet someone? Because that would be change, for sure.So this is a question for those actually looking to meet someone (because yes, some are here just for the virtual equivalent of Cheers, where everyone knows your name) (Norm!)
Would you be looking for a slow adjustment - meeting every other Thursday for coffee, then slowly slowly stepping that up to other outings, plus an occasional takeaway at his, or a home-cooked meal at yours (or of course the other way round) until a year or two down the line you suddenly realize you're spending more time together than apart?
Or a sudden whirlwind, swept off your feet, blown out of your quiet life into a thrilling breathless gasping new world?
Or something like a long-distance relationship, where you have the whirlwind weekends but the peace and quiet of your familiar life in between?
Or just waiting with interest to see what life has in store ...
For me, perhaps the last option. Just wondered if anyone else had thought it through a bit more.

Good Blog. :thumbs up: Manuman7#
Fingers crossed for FFM and, er, the success of the bionic bits.
Having said that...Red, who moves home nearly every year, is having difficulty with the site change Sorry Red, not having a dig, you just disprove my theory
I do notice people are ducking the actual question of what they'd like developing from that first spark of interest.
Do you think of Ireland as your forever home? Actually not a good question with winter looming I know January finds me every year determined to find somewhere warmer, drier and brighter to live.
I don't know, to be honest. I think that the weather is very tough to age in and I'd love to say that I'm going back to SA but that's less likely by the day
I don't even mind the cold so much, it's the darkness that really gets to me
Like, in your case, finding a new singer
Now...on the other subject, I wouldn't live with a man or marry one again, so change on that front would probably be minimal, if it ever happened.
But I'm still going to have to say that I like Windows 7 and am resisting the free upgrade to Windows 10 not because I dislike change, I've just heard too many people complaining bitterly about it, at least at first. My attitude to software is if it ain't broke, don't fix it until it is. (And wait as long as you can so the first generation has the bugs ironed out)
Will there be whiskey? Lobster?
I have a key for mine
Whisky will be a home-based industry, or imported. Irish or Scotch? There'll be a weekly ferry to the mainland. Lots of fab little houses just the right size for one, with a village atmosphere, and definitely a village green. Non-cricketers will have to learn to play, if enough Americans apply we will also learn baseball for lazy Sunday afternoons.
Not that I think about it much, of course
Well, after the first coffee date at least
I don't want a long distance relationship. I want to be able to meet him regularly, and have lots of fun and good times together
We're all a bit rubbish at planning, I suspect.
Mind you I doubt anyone would actually put their hand up to attending the funerals of rich women with a darling little black hat, a flattering outfit, and a determined gleam in her eye as she offers her sympathies to the wealthy widower ...
I could last an hour if pushed
When Pat moves to Ireland you will have to find him the perfect place about, hmm, 45 minutes away? With train and bus options in case the car burns out with all the high-speed dashing back and forth.
Oh help I'm being bossy and managing again. Think I'd better go now.
You should ask him if he wants to live by the sea, mountains, town or city, so I can start searching for the perfect place
(Pick sea, pick sea!)
I'm such an organizer I just nipped upstairs to the bathroom and only when I looked for loo paper remembered that the giant economy pack of a dozen rolls I had bought was still downstairs in the hall waiting to be brought up.
Er, not that I want you to lose faith in my ability to organize important stuff.
I was never as long on my own as I was until this year, so I was wondering if it would be more difficult to get used to having someone around. I'm used to lots of time (and diy) on my own, so it's strange to have less time. When we started off, we both were on the same page in what we want, but had little time to spend together - only once a week and I found it hard to built up a connection seeing someone that rarely.
We made it through all of that and spending more time together now - it wasn't a teenage whirlwind but we still can cause quite a stir.
Sounds like it is happening very organically with you two though
Molly and Pat, let me know if you need my input but you seem to be working things out nicely so I shall maintain a tactful distance.
