Yesterday was a mixed day.....started off odd....got slightly odder. Finished with an accident and a bit of a face bash.
I'll tell you about the "got slightly odder"
its more interesting
Yesterday afternoon I met up with a chap I was in Welsh Class with last year.
The welsh class went the way so many night classes do but I sort of kept in touch by the odd text with the guy who laughed easily and who also liked art house cinema.
He is gay, a former actor and drama teacher and is in his (very well preserved) early sixties
Yesterday was our first catch up since December.
We had coffee at a garden centre outside Chester
We talked at length about Stan & Ollie and how Theatre Clwyd needs to up it's game cinema wise in competition with Chester's Storyhouse
And I bored him silly with an up to date catch up of my mediation and newly singleton ways.
It was sunny but rather cold and I had to put my hands in my hoodie pockets as we chatted in the car park before separating for home.
I was sort of expecting the hug goodbye and hadn't managed to get my hands quite free when it came
but I wasn't expecting the kiss which followed it.
It was very sweet with absolutely no strings
and I kissed him right back
way to go john! this could become a great story!
ReplyDeleteWow! Just, wow!
ReplyDeleteAh, lovely! This old romantic is waiting for a follow-up post some day soon. x
ReplyDeleteSmiling here, lovely post, hope you heal well and soon.
ReplyDeleteOuch! That hurt! I’m pleased to hear you can kiss, just practice the hugging bit I’d suggest! Do you speak Welsh? Or at least, a little/ understand some?
ReplyDeleteI was taught Welsh at school as a second language until the age of 15 or so. I can understand it fairly well if it is spoken slowly
DeleteJohn, have you seen the 'Duo lingo' website? Welsh is one the languages on there and you could have a little practice when you have some free time
DeleteAwww, that's lovely (the kiss I mean, not your bashed face), made me smile. I hope more comes of it, you so deserve some happiness. But do tell how the face bash came about?
ReplyDeleteNext blog x
DeleteI could go toe-to-toe with you on an odd day (mine included an 85 year old woman and her 30 year old parrot) but because yours ended with a kiss, and mine with a burger and fries, makes you the winner!
ReplyDeleteCould he possibly be the 'gay ageing millionaire with a heart condition and no living relatives' that you wished for the other day?
ReplyDeleteIf not make the most of it anyway :-)
How DID you bash your poor face?

DeleteOh and if you want some 'puppy love' go and visit mine today :-)
DeleteA little friend for Roger perhaps :-)
I've seen your newbee on Facebook. Adorable
DeleteI feel quite emotional reading this John xx
ReplyDeleteHugsxx
DeleteIf you hadn't had your hands in your pockets would you have slapped him?
ReplyDeleteNo, but Bette Davis would have
DeleteInvite him over for dinner! ❤
ReplyDeleteOh, nice! Were you suspecting it might go this way, or were you quite surprised by it?
ReplyDeleteCan we guess about the face injury? I'm going to try 'tripping over dog while hands are in pockets'. -Jenn
I was very surprised
DeleteHe may want to play with your dickie. Cut to the debase chase.
ReplyDeleteHahaha.."play with your dickie" almost made me choke on my coffee!
DeleteI don't kiss and tell
DeleteOh I just have haven't I ?
Haha ... you have indeed. But in the nicest possible way :-)
DeleteOooh sounds promising!!! 😉
ReplyDeleteYeah! Sounds promising!!! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like a good catch John! What happened to your poor face? Do tell. x
ReplyDeleteSorry about your bashed face but the kiss yay.you are out there as an intelligent attractive guy go with it you never know where it may lead. I hope it helps to boost you as you deserve x
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay but I want to know who you were fighting with. Was it Jason the Affable Despot? Not so "affable" after all.
ReplyDeleteAwww, in two senses. One for the face, the other for the kiss!
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteBy the looks of those marks on your head dear, that must have been some kiss?!?! Did you after parting, walk into something in a daze?
ReplyDeleteI'm naturally clumsy
DeleteWell of course any gay man who is single would lose control and want to kiss you! ;)
ReplyDeletelol that's not quite true lol
DeleteAnd a few straight women too.
DeleteCherry Bounce, behave your self. Remember your poorly hip. John, grab your happiness where you can. Love and hugs.xxx
DeleteSounds like a bit of catch, rather like you!
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteNice! The kiss, not your head bash injury.
ReplyDeleteWell, good news for sure on the hug and the kiss but how did you bash your face?
ReplyDeleteThat's another blog entry
DeleteYay! It never hurts to be reminded that you are kissable :)
ReplyDeleteToo right x
Deletewell, yay you!
ReplyDeleteTell us more, tell us more...
ReplyDeleteNothing else to tell x ☺️
DeleteI've never had a kiss leave a mark like that!
ReplyDeleteOh I bet you have
DeleteWow, that must have been some kiss. Come on, tell us about the face!
ReplyDeleteU don't wanna know
Deleteoh yes we do want to know :-)
DeleteWoohoo!
ReplyDeleteNo strings ... Saliva?
ReplyDeleteNo, I do get it. And I'm happy for you. It must be lovely to exchange a kiss. I can still remember how lovely. Well done kissing him back!
Right in the car park too!
DeleteVeddy e-e-enteresting! This could be the beginning of something good.
ReplyDeleteYes, how did you bash your face?
Hugs!
Not the start of anything me thinks but it was nice to think that someone finds me attractive
DeleteThat sounds lovely; I felt good to read it.
ReplyDeleteLol cheers
DeleteMaybe the start of a real turn-around John.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read your posting, I danced a jig in happiness for you, John, I think you're handsome and desirable and he did too. BTW, I'm 84 years old so don't get you're hopes up. lol
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll meet again John, it's good you're being reminded how fab you are. I had lunch with a friend the other day. He said afterwards it was great to see me as always, and it reminded me as well as a Mum and wife, I'm still me and that felt good xx
ReplyDeleteAmen dearheart x
DeleteJohn this is such sweet post that a lump came to my throat... I am feeling a bit tearful just lately and it doesn't take much to set me off.
ReplyDeleteand I am sitting here grinning like an idiot ...
ReplyDeleteMe too !!!
DeleteThis made me smile a big wide smile.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, sweet. Good on for you!
ReplyDeleteYou have just made me smile xx
ReplyDeleteGood for you, here is another from me to you X
ReplyDeleteWhatever comes of it, it's nice to be kissed. (Unless you didn't want to be, in which case it is something else entirely.)
ReplyDeleteIt was nice and I did
DeleteHow good is this?! The 'kiss' that helped leave the past behind and forge ahead. Happy for you, John.
ReplyDeleteJimbo he looked like Blake Shelton
DeleteGood for you, sweetie. Sometimes a sweet kiss, with no strings attached, is just what we need :) xx
ReplyDeleteAnd I was thinking you were at work.
ReplyDeleteThis was late afternoon
DeleteUnexpected kisses are the best ;)
ReplyDeletex
This has brought me to tears on your behalf. The human touch is important, and so is the message that we are worth it.
ReplyDelete... and then he beat the crap out of you????
