I'm double booked.
I've got baking to do for the flower show which coincides with lunch with gay friend
I differentiate his sexuality only because I need to whip my sass up in readiness for meeting
He has more one liners than the indomitable Tallulah
And so the Boiled fruit cake, quiche and novelty animal made from a butternut squash can wait until
tomorrow!
At least I've done the shopping in readiness. When I was sizing up the satsumas in Sainsbury's yesterday ( large ones can be fashioned into a passable snail btw!) I had an eye flirt with a man who was fumbling through the organic carrots. He is a nurse in A&E and I once took a patient from him in ITU who was very poorly many moons ago.....I remember he was cute but very stressed.
I doubt he remembered me , but he smiled, which was nice.
You are going to have to be a lot more obvious than batting your lashes. We've lost the knack with the birth of grindr.
ReplyDeleteYou could mime a swipe right? ;-)
DeleteLol
DeleteI like Mavis' comment. I thought it was because I was old. I learnt late in life that a smile towards anyone can get you a long way.
ReplyDeletei think we are all excited for you to fall in love again.
ReplyDeleteDont hold ya breath
DeleteI can't wait to see the novelty animal made from a butternut squash !
ReplyDeleteAll will be revealed tomorrow
DeleteI had to look up what a satsuma was! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteWere you impressed?
DeleteLooks like late night cooking for you, John.
ReplyDeleteUp early tomorrow
DeleteSmiles and food. Those two always work.
ReplyDeleteEven together
DeleteUnless you have spinach in your teeth!

A meaningful smile from someone can keep you going for quite a while!
ReplyDeleteA snog gets u miles longer
DeleteJohn, maybe you should take the advice of a woman on the radio the other day. She had been through a divorce and was lonely but not ready for another relationship yet. She said, "I'm trying to find a special friend, you know.. I need to get under a guy, to get over a guy"! I nearly wet myself laughing. Of course under/over depends on what position you play with gay team sports. ;p
ReplyDeleteFunny.....
DeleteSteven I've ticked that box already
O_O I don't remember reading THAT blog entry! See, you are not dead yet!
Delete"Fumbling through the organic carrots" sounds like he was checking the sexual health of a men's rugby team.
ReplyDeleteI wish
DeleteYou could have boiled the fruit and other bits and bobs before going to lunch and left it until tomorrow before baking the cake.
ReplyDeleteGood thinking batman
DeleteHow sweet it is - both the cake and the lunch date! "Wink, wink, nudge, nudge" to quote a famous comedy group.
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Actually, I think there might be a one-liner in THAT!
I thought a satsuma was some sort of dim sum dumpling--I guess not. Off to Google to look it up.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could go to Sainsburys again at the same time and say that you are searching for a carrot which is a double one,because you are hoping to carve it into the shape of a dog x
ReplyDeleteSee, you are not dead yet! The best is yet to come.
ReplyDeleteWhen you've got it you've got it John...what more can I say ;)
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
I've got it
DeletePurely due to my interest in linguistics would it be possible to be told what "whip my sass up" means; because my attempts at deciphering are proving more disturbing than I expect may be justified.
ReplyDeleteGet my arch sassy replies all ready for a dialogue of filth
DeleteDoes that help?
ReplyDeleteSo you were flirting over the veggies? Extra points!
ReplyDeleteAnd h omg dinner with witty friends is my fav pass time. I won’t venture cooking, but yeah, it’s super fun.
XoXo
So, first I had t look up Satsuma and now I wonder how you make one look like a snail. Still, always nice to cruise when you’re shopping for fruit... or so I would imagine.
