A Date With The Most Beautiful Man In The World

I went to bed around 11pm last night
I woke at 9 am this morning and took the dogs out.
Then had a lay down again on the bed for a brief moment
I slept heavily until 1pm
When I opened my eyes to see all three dogs watching me carefully with slow wagging tails

I needed to get up.
I have a date booked for this afternoon
Despite lockdown the date was organised at Sainsbury's last night
Our eyes met in the books, magazine and DVD aisle as I was heading for the checkout
His name is Michael and he is Dutch!
I have seen him before several times , but today's date seemed like fate as he looked at me with the floppy haired, brown eyed sweetness of a new puppy.

And so I'm writing this waiting for the date to kick off.
I'm dressed informally ( he likes that) in jogging bottoms and a hoodie.
I have brushed my teeth and but have left my hair muzzy
I think he likes the " muzzy " look!!

I bought the DVD for £5
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society 
It stars Michael Huisman
Who is the most beautiful man in the world

The date will last 2 hours or so
I shall enjoy every minute of it

  4. "Michael Huisman ... is the most beautiful man in the world"

    Truer words were never spoken! Or, um, blogged.

  5. Ooh err John Gray, you’re such a tart... you got me going there for a while.
    I’ve heard of safe sex but isn’t this taking social distance to a whole different level?

  6. You might want to know 1, you have excellent taste, and 2, he looks very sexy naked too!!! I recall his scenes very well from Games of Thrones.

  9. Must admit it took me a minute or two for my mind's cogwheel to start turning, but now that it's in gear I wish you the best of success with Mr Huisman - perhaps 'sharing' a bottle of wine - by candlelight? You more than deserve two hours of bliss, even if [as I just had to check back] I myself didn't rate his 'vehicle' too, highly though many others did.
    But, hey, do ENJOY!

    Ah, you met, not across a crowded room, but across the books and magazine aisle at Sainsbury's. Blissful sigh ...

    Enjoy!

  12. I am picturing you and 3 doe-eyed females staring, entranced, at the screen.
    I was going to say 'drooling' but that probably only applies to you. Enjoy!

  13. You have brushed your teeth and butt? I hope you didn't use the same brush for both. Sounds like you slept like a log last night. You must have needed it.

    2. LOL ... I read that the same way ... you brushed your teeth and but [no 2nd t] ... however, after reading other comments, I got it that you were having a date to watch the movie and Michael is IN THE DAMNED MOVIE!
      I'm old ... don't just me! LOL Duhhhhh!

    3. That should be ... DON'T JUDGE ME!

  14. Didn't get it for a minute - enjoy - he looks pretty sexy to me but don't know whether this is a good or a bad thing. Don't let those three sexy girls of yours interfere with your enjoyment.

  15. You didn't trick me into thinking you had a date... because after reading you for years, I have come to learn what a brat you can be! I agree with you, nice to look at!

    1. Are you still communicating with your date ??

  16. Well you DID trick me into thinking you had a date. I thought the way you met was so sweet and I was all in for you. It's not April Fools Day. Lol. I'll have to look this movie up, have a date with Michael my own self.

  21. Hope you enjoyed your date. The book is beautifully written, one of my favourites.

  22. Each to his own, of course, when it comes to the appreciation of masculine pulchritude. Your heartthrob there is looking plenty manly!
    Might I also recommend someone I think is the most handsome man in the world: Paul Gross. Oooh La La. You can admire him in Slings and Arrows, should you be able to get it; I think it's on Netflix now. An excellent series; one of the best.
    You're pretty handsome yourself, if you don't mind me saying. -Kate

  23. He is gorgeous John and I love men with floppy hair too.Most of my boyfriend's were dark but I did have a blonde floppy one who collected his bicycle from my dad's shed and that was it.I did see him once in the town and he ran through W H Smith's door and out the other end-I never knew why x

  26. It amazes me that someone can find a date during the Covid 19 epidemic! It must be sheer fate! It could only happen to you! Hope all goes well!

  27. The good side of dates like this that he won't mind if you call him Michael instead of Michiel:-) Have fun. Being married (like him, sorry) I would not mind a date like this with him. Specially with my Covid 19 hair style.

  28. enjoyed the book, haven't seen the film although I can understand what draws you :) , try and pay attention to the story line as an added aside!

  29. Loved the book and the film. Heartbreaking learning about the Todd workers. Did you watch Love and Mercy about Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys? I thought it was excellent. Stay safe, love Janxx

  30. Another film to add to my growing list of recommendations.

  31. Will you be seeing him again?

  32. Dutch Michael is very lucky to have a date with the most beautiful man in the world. How did you manage a date in the time of covid-19?

  33. I cannot even imagine having a date right now. I haven't had a date I have enjoyed in 8 years. I hope it goes well.

  34. You had me there for a moment, thinking NO, what is he doing? The film is just perfect viewing, right up my street.

    Dear John I'm thrilled to bits as our t-shirts have just been delivered and they are great, my daughter and I here in the Lake District were so happy to be able to help your wonderful Hospice. In these troubled times it doesn't hurt to find an extra few quid to help a worthy cause that you know about because of a wonderful guy who works there. I have been supporting three Hospices for over twenty years - one in my home county, one in the neighbouring county of Lancashire and a very special children's hospice in Skipton, Yorkshire and continue to do so. I sponsored you on your zip wire fundraiser and will always be happy to help a virtual friend. Take care and stay safe, Lorraine from the still very quiet Lake District.

  36. Cor blimey. He's a looker and if I remember this movie, it made me teary at the end.

  37. It's a lovely film, I watched it on my birthday for perhaps the third time. And yes, your date is a beautiful man :-)

    I love that it was filmed mostly in Clovelly which we visited a few years back. Watching the film the other day made me want to go back and visit again though and I felt even more 'stuck at home' than ever.

    I hope the date went well ... with not too many tears at the end.

  38. I did the same, but for me it was Brad Pitt. There was just the remote between us.

  39. LOL -- he definitely looks like he goes for "muzzy."

  40. That actor is super cute. I think I watched that film solely based on Huisman, if I'm honest.

    ReplyDelete
  41. It seems dating and courtship is impossible these days. All romance is on hold unless the two are already living together. Where would you go on a date? A safe distance walk or a take out picnic? Hope this whole mess is over soon.
