Last night the Royal Opera House streamed the ballet Romeo And Juliet
I missed it
I had my third date with the same guy
He is an emotionally intelligent soul with a gift of the gab
He stayed over and enjoyed counting bufferfly species on the buddleia in the front garden this morning over coffee
Gossip will be rife in this part of the village!
Tee hee
I'll catch up with the Ballet tonight on line
I so miss going in person
All sounding good x
ReplyDeleteOoo flutter flutter xx
ReplyDeleteWell, when we're not going out much a bit of curtain twitching gives the day a bit of interest. May you enjoy many more happy gossip-worthy moments xx
ReplyDeleteBut how did he get on with your four-legged charges?
ReplyDeleteHe has a cat, so they didn't faze him too much
Deletemy stars, a third date with a sleep-over included! YOU GO JOHN!
ReplyDeleteHe's a lucky man John Gray xx
ReplyDeleteHow sweet it is!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Woot! Somebody got lucky!! 😁
ReplyDeleteI hope you both took precautions and wore something .... masks I mean ! XXXX
ReplyDeleteSteady x
DeleteI hope you are keeping 2 metres apart.
ReplyDeleteHe was in my bubble
DeleteSounds like the entire village will be aflutter now
ReplyDeleteGive it time, they'll get over it. (Smile)
ReplyDeleteIt's important to keep the neighbours intrigued!
ReplyDeleteGood for you and long may you bubble along together!
Aw. Great news. X
ReplyDeleteGo John!! Lovely ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs Muhammad Ali said: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
ReplyDeleteSo pleased for you.
ReplyDeleteYou may recall I posted about my own enforced singleton status at age 55 and how I was in such a dark place until I met the lovely lady who is now my wife who brought the sunshine back into my life.
I hope everything works out as well for you.
I remember your words well x
DeleteJohn that is one of your roles in the village to provide a bit of gossip. The farmer and I played that role for eighteen months before we married - it felt very risque and I loved it. Don't think the farmer ever gave it a thought and he was a local.
ReplyDeleteI hope the village knows you as being the 'discerning' type, otherwise if they're aware of all these dates you're having you just might come over as being 'easy', even 'fast' - and you wouldn't want that reputation now, would you? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe dates were all the same guy. Lol
DeleteI'm no slag xx
Ooops, sorry! I just thought.....you know.
DeleteWas it worth it, the date? 😏
ReplyDeleteThat's very noble of you in times of lockdown to take one for the team and give the neighbours a topic of conversation. :-) Dead flippin pleased for you John.
ReplyDelete~~~~~~smiling from ear to ear~~~~~~~~
ReplyDeleteSo awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you.
ReplyDeleteNice to read nice news, happy for you both, early days but boyfriends are an exciting addition to life, well in my dim and distant past they were anyway!
ReplyDeleteTess xx
I'm not referring to him as boyfriend
DeleteHe's a date and we are friends x
Friend for Albert - his cat I mean
ReplyDeleteIn a small town, you have no secrets
ReplyDeletelol ain't that the truth
Deleteyou are a man of mystery john gray!
ReplyDeleteNope , just ordinary my friend and rather mundane x
DeleteWow ! Wow ! and Wow ! Xx
ReplyDeleteWhat fun.
ReplyDeleteCoffee and butterflies a lovely combination, hope the dogs liked him John !!!
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies' return is so welcome . My insect friendly garden planting has worked out beautifully x
DeleteSounds like you are off work for the weekend! How lovely to have a summer romance. And butterflies.
ReplyDeleteBack to work Monday .......I was lucky work is dog friendly . I took more annual leave to make sure Winnie was ok
DeleteAs you should, she needed you---but also you're a great doggy dad.
DeleteHi hun, Soo happy for you.Although I must admit I am very nosey wanting more details about your beau! *hugs* Goldensunflowerx
ReplyDeleteJust a date and let's see

DeleteDoes he realise there's twenty million readers here who will be keeping an eye on him and woe betide him if he upsets you!! :D x
ReplyDeleteNo pressure then lol
DeleteHahaha Marksgran I was just thinking exactly the same thing.
DeleteJo in Auckland
Is that the third date with the same guy? Or your third date since being single?
ReplyDeleteThird date with the same guy x
DeleteWelll,On the third date it would possibly be more than holding hands I should think? x
DeleteHe stayed the night flis x
DeleteHow lovely-all night long in your bubble John xx
Deleteflis perhaps you're not aware of the Covid-19 social distancing guidelines. Yes we can be in a 'bubble' but it's still whilst social distancing, not even giving anyone a hug. But I'm sure John is well aware of the guidelines and adhering to them!
DeleteI'm happy for you John, the 3rd date with the same guy is good progress and bodes well.
anony-Yes I am aware and I understand that people in your personal bubble are allowed to stay overnight in your home as long as they remain Alert at all times x
DeleteGood for you. Nothing like a bit of village gossip, sure they are happy for you. As my granddaughter would say, not a boyfriend, you are just seeing each other!
ReplyDeleteThe village will be all lace curtains twitching for sure... as are we! And hoping this one is Mr Right. Can you record these performances... or download them again later?
ReplyDeleteThey are available for a week have a look on the Royal opera web site

Gosh! I’ve just reread that last bit .... I was referring to the ballet! I was! I swear I was!
ReplyDeleteI did think x lol
DeleteAwwww♥♥♥ xx
ReplyDeleteAs Bonnie Rait sings, "Let's give them something to talk about..."
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you John.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a bit of gossip x
DeleteGood people deserve good times, that's enough to make me smile today.
DeleteDid the dogs join you in the morning?
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased youre having fun
Tee Hee indeed!
ReplyDeletei suspected someone was in your sights when you had a yardfull of wore out undies.
ReplyDeleteLol too right x
DeleteGood to hear that you're dating again.
ReplyDeleteVery very happy for you John... if it feels right it is right. When's the next date?? Asking for a friend lol.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
I am delighted that you have someone special. How many more " dates" before you tell us a bit more about the lucky man? Don't think anyone has mentioned wanting more info but I am sure we are all agog !! Hope he isn't too secretive and swears you to silence!
ReplyDeleteEmotional intelligence is very important. Glad it's going well so far. If they are gossiping about you they are giving someone else a rest, lol! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be the talk of the village ... but in a good way. Your friends know you deserve a bit of happiness ♥️
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you x
ReplyDeleteReally pleased for you! Jxx
ReplyDeleteGood on you.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of being repetitive, Oooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletegood for you xxx

ReplyDeleteOh err
DeleteWell, it's nice to be the subject of some good gossip, I expect. I think that butterfly is a painted lady, no? Dave is also counting butterflies now.
