Hasn't Mallorca been washed away in terrible floods? sad flower

And it wasn't that I was a massive Donovan fan. More the excitement of learning he is still above ground.

sigh

Odd couple

Wowwwwww.

Maybe I'm not ready to be interred after all.

Odd couple

He's still alive??

Still singing? Ooh if he is, could I, er, um, any chance I come visit? Go see him? Could you introduce us?

Just that pretty much everyone who sang while I was a teenager is, you know, dead now.

Kerrrrist I'm old.

Odd couple

Molly I shall just watch you and Map battle it out for unpredictability and odd moves. And of course anyone else throwing their hat in the ring.

I'm very conventional, always have been, known for it, not about to rock any boats, me.

Odd couple

Map don't tell porkies. The urban dictionary doesn't agree with you.

1. A song by the 60's song artist Donovan. The song's influence was from a short-lived rumor that a euphoric high could be reached by smoking banana leaves. The song became very popular in the late nineties after a cover was made for a series of Gap clothing commercials.

2. A Coca-Cola product with high caffeine and citrus flavor; not related to banana leaves at all.

Map, Molly, dinna you fash, that wasn't temper rolling on the floor laughing

Why I am as mellow as a mellow thing. They call me mellow yellow, quite rightly - hmm, you could write a song around a first line line that grin

Odd couple

blushing don't know what came over me there, not usually so competitive on my own blogs blushing

My manners. Sorry.

Odd couple

MINE

Odd couple

Yup, that's a given, they have made a choice and really the blog was not so much about them as about who else of us would have that kind of courage - if it be courage laugh

Stepping out of the comfort zone whether you try someone older, younger, a different race, strong but different beliefs, or simply a different language does take a kind of courage.

Odd couple

Mappy you didn't comment on the main topic - male point of view - yes you would probably be happy to spend 24 hours yadda yadda

but a week's holiday ...

Odd couple

Abagail, that might be where they started and now they're trying a longer trip seeing if they can turn daytime into quality time too laugh

Odd couple

Oooooohhhh banana

Odd couple

Dear me Molly did he read like you a book? In braille?

Odd couple

Ah, right. I thought the French also used their hands more than the usual in the arts of love, proving I have as over-heated an imagination as Non laugh

I'm a little muted if I can't wave my hands around as well uh oh

RE: Facebook

Excellent, and I shall now post it on FB! laugh

Odd couple

Bloody, I never thought of them from that point of view before laugh never mind a week together, having to move into a guy's tree and chat with ape visitors while you teach him how to talk and be human and we all know how guys resist being changed wow

rolling on the floor laughing

Odd couple

Oh Art if you'd had a French accent I don't think I could have contained myself, you luscious bit of crackling you smitten as it is you're lucky you had your Mimi bodyguard

I only met these people yesterday, I haven't been brooding for ages about it laugh

Odd couple

Molly by my calculations you got the 69th comment so name your poison. Drinks on the house.

And here in Spain it is nearly 1 am and although that ship has nearly sailed I need some beauty sleep

Night all kiss BTW you cheered me up a treat. I was a bit evil when I logged in earlier.

Odd couple

Jac, you live in Wales, you have a German mum, and you only speak English? SHAME on you scold

laugh

Odd couple

Jac, no fair, you've got a headstart on languages scold

But if you'll be the adjudicator, you have yourself a deal applause

Odd couple

Wen, that Man Cave of yours gets more exotic by the mention rolling on the floor laughing and yeah drag is definitely more PC hehe

Odd couple

Daniela, you intrigue me, I have never dated a Frenchman. Pun intended? popcorn

Merc, this guy's accent in English is velvet musk and goes straight to press a little button in your head marked vavaVOOM. Maybe it is when he speaks Spanish too!

Odd couple

Jac, that is so romantic, love it. smitten

Odd couple

Hmm, top timing, I have a mail from a German dude who is blown away by my beautiful smile. blushing He's really tall. I mean REALLY tall. 7' tall. And in one pic with a bunch of others he looks perfectly normal height so he knows a lot of really tall people too.

So exciting. daydream

Odd couple

Molly, I can only say he is really hot. And that accent, mon Dieu! How's your French?

Odd couple

Jac that is so cool! What was your mom's home language, and do you speak it?

My in-laws met in Germany just after the war but she did speak some English. When he took her back to England she watched every episode of Coronation Street slavishly to learn more, her German-Corrie accent was a treat,.

Odd couple

Merc, if I had better French or Spanish I would have rolling on the floor laughing

Odd couple

Molly, to go back to your first comment, difficult enough to communicate sometimes when you do speak the same language. foot in mouth

Made me very restless. Maybe I'm being silly looking for someone I can 'talk' to and 'listen' to. Is it such a big deal?

Odd couple

Merc I think they are in it for each other and best of luck to them (I need that little green emoji I keep requesting) and I obviously don't know if this is their first holiday together, but a week is a long time. She's in her own country, she'll be able to chat to people anywhere, but he's going to have to shut up a lot. Or learn Spanish really quickly. Maybe that's part of the attraction, though dunno
