The second date didn't go so well.  I discovered a lot about this man's character and decided that there was no way forward for us.   So, that's that.

I'm not being too picky, I'm simply being realistic about the kind of relationship I want.  I have enough life experience and relationship experience to read people pretty well.

Oh well, onwards and ( Read more... )

Thank you all for your suggestions.  I managed to find some temporary "cement" to fix my crown back in.  It's called Refit and is available in most chemists in London.

I haven't been on LJ for some weeks.  I've been feeling really out-of-sorts for some time but I think, and hope, I'm coming out of it now.

I've decided to spring clean my house, (yes, I know it's autumn but the purpose is just the same).  It's hard work for me because of my lack of energy but I'm going through everything at a steady pace and ( Read more... )

The World Cup hasn't even started yet and I'm already sick to death of it.  Nearly every time I switch on the TV someone is talking about it, and has been for weeks.  It also takes over the News programmes too - and the weather forecast for heaven's sake ( Read more... )

Bear with me while I think how I should begin . . .

Okay, I'll tell the story this way:

1.   Last  September/October, I lost my mobile phone.  Now, while this was a nuisance it wasn't too inconvenient as I generally only use it for emergencies or to send the occasional text.  I looked high and low for this phone many times over the months.  I looked ( Read more... )

On friday a friend took me for a drive around the Kent countryside.  Everywhere were woodlands full of bluebells ( Read more... )
