we talk too much

Won't.



they can kiss me, and me them, without adding any words

Hi happy Mappy

we talk too much

Molly I had already resolved never ever to let the duenna know that I could understand a word!

RE: a question for the guys

Tons of fringe, he can plait it when he's bored, tie bows in it, or attach his keys to it.

Works for me, anyway

RE: "JUST THE USA?"

Hi Nam

I'm sure it feels like the whole world is out to get at your country - been there, done that, try coming from South Africa not that long since Saffers abroad on holiday would pretend to be Australian or NZ rather than have pointless endless arguments with total strangers.

Even a week ago I said to someone I was from there and they said 'I would play that down if I were you'. That sort of comment makes me want to leap on a chair and sing "Die Stem" (the old national anthem before Nkosi Sikelele) at the top of my cracked and warbling voice.

This too will pass

RE: Sell-By Date

Z, you could have the answer there

Let us know how that works out?

RE: Sell-By Date

So what you're saying is you are about to make a pea very, very happy

Maybe there's another parallel there. Those better with working around food problems are better at making relationships work too?

This blog works on so many levels!

Meeting up ...

Just looked at my mailbox.

The most recent approaches are from Wisconsin, Arkansas, Wisconsin (different part), California, SA, Texas and North Carolina.

I deduce two things from this.

1. I should be living in the US.
2. I won't be going on any coffee dates in the immediate future.

Meeting up ...

Cool, packing now.

















Hahaha the last time you said you were about to go on holiday. I asked when and you asked 'when are you coming'



Sunshine still has novelty for me hon, after 17 years of the weather you have now.

but thanks

Meeting up ...

Molly, you've definitely got a better internet connection

Next 10 days here - sunny with partial occasional cloud, average high 13 degrees,
average low overnight 3 degrees
Next 10 days Cork - completely overcast with occasional rain, average high 11 degrees,
average low overnight 9 degrees.

Oh please can I come stay with you? I hate sunshine, some nice blanket cloud is much cosier

Meeting up ...

Z, that may count as a highlight in winter in Ireland.

(Highlight? geddit? )

Meeting up ...

Molly, I think I'll pass. Especially after Luke's comment

Meeting up ...

Look look look I got a blurry pic

Finally found my pics from the meet in September and was delighted to spot a blurred one! (That IS what happens when you sit near Molly, you know. The whole world picks up speed)

Meeting up ...

We did look gorgeous as we were released from our prison but some numpty would always target the gorgeously-tanned schoolgirl with the long silky mysteriously shadowed hair and push her in the nearest swimming pool.

What emerged was peely-wally white with frizzy uncoloured hair.



and sometimes the potash crystals hadn't dissolved properly and we had black marks on our situpons.

Ah, the good old days.

Meeting up ...

I tried henna once when I was in my 20s. No effect whatsoever on my hair but my hands and the basin stayed stained for quite a long time.

In my boarding school days we would rinse our hair with either gentian violet (purple) or mercurochrome (red) for our fortnightly exeants. We also ironed our hair and bathed in permangonate of potash to turn brown.

We were weird, I think.

Meeting up ...

Don't look at me I'm a red blonde now.

Unless I take drastic intervening action I will probably be a silver blonde in a year

Meeting up ...

Yup, thought so, you'd said your BFF was a ginge.

Saw a lovely mug on the forum thread on redheads, something about redheads being sunshine and a little touch of hurricane.

We have our good points.

Meeting up ...

Oh and the other day I was told I can't call myself a redhead since I am quite obviously a blonde. Curse these invasive silver strands.

I should have made more of my time as a redhead, I suppose.

Can I be a red blonde?

Meeting up ...

well now that explains an old joke I never understood - 3 women presented with a hypothetical situation and asked how would handle it.

They've been alone at sea in a rowboat for 3 days and finally see a big yacht, but about 6 sailors are leering and catcalling over the side.

The blonde said she wouldn't go aboard until the captain promised to guarantee her safety.

The brunette (that would be you) said she would row in the other direction as fast as she could.

The redhead didn't understand the problem

Meeting up ...

(That was of course before she got married)

Meeting up ...

That works out PERFECTLY you can move into my place in September and I will rush off to the queue in Ireland and walk your dogs and water your plants -

Seriously, it was such an ordeal? I've never actually had to deal with a queue of men.

Ever tried speedating? My daughter went for a laugh once and said it was interesting. The idea curled me up a bit, my type of fascination needs a little longer to take hold

Meeting up ...

Mimi I found those pics! They were on my laptop!

Creating an album now and will send you the link, one or two beauties of you with lovely Art xx

Meeting up ...

What, to be matched to a lovely Irishman? Oh aye. That'll be handy.

But still, ask him when you go for your appointment if he has anyone very good at DIY who wants to move to Spain, has the Irish gift of the gab, is tireless, and hankering for a paint-freckled ex Saffer with some Scottishisms who can't yet speak Spanish. Oh, right, he should speak Spanish. That's a big plus.

Meeting up ...

Or Africa and start a bidding war as people bid for your favours in cattle?

It would be way easier if someone else did all the difficult matching work and reference checking and stuff, then just introduced the two of you, showed you into a room, and locked the door for 6 hours. When they re-open the door you can zoom off in different directions or saunter out hand-in-hand -

Anyone else awake?

Now hang on, I'm probably not familiar with the looks of most of the presidents you mentioned but JFK definitely had black hair. Definitely.

Didn't he?

But ok if you have a shot at getting in, you da man, where do I sign up as a supporter of your presidential bid?

Meeting up ...

I never 'like and share' but I will clap my hands to prove I believe in emojis

See?

RE: How do you keep an Idiot in suspense?

I love that you were lost for words

or at least too polite to say what you thought

I put a reply here at the time, it must have been a snorter because it crashed my computer (which happens depressingly often here in Spain ) and I never realized it hadn't posted

Probably just as well

RE: Another BirthDay single. ..

Oops Nicki not Nikki. I'm sure in the old layout here they showed the name of the blogger when you were in the comments box!

RE: Another BirthDay single. ..

Happy birthday Nikki and hang in there, you have 40 years and more ahead of you to love, laugh, cry, rage, rant, break your heart and find your dreams. It's going to be pretty packed

Meeting up ...

Nonsmoker, lubs you even though you need your eyesight checked, I am about to go be lavish on your blog since I am not only an idiot, I am a gullible idiot.

Yes totally a numbers game and the One not only has to be the One they have to be a ten, right? tick every box and be, if not perfect, perfect for you

I must be delirious. So many emojis this early in the morning.

Meeting up ...

JJ, not mad is definitely a bonus.

But then I can't be too fussy, I'm at least one sandwich short of a full picnic myself.
