“ Darling John! “ was all I needed to hear, I never even had my mobile on speaker phone, but “darling” resonated through the air like birdcall and I knew who it was before the phone went to my ear.
Chic Eleanor was excited and you could almost make out the wild sweep of her pashmina as she called down the phone “ Darling John, dinner is booked for Friday 7.30 ! Sara and Pask are coming too so it will quite the reunion”
I smiled. The last time we all met up was last summer where we had an Italian dinner party in our friends’ garden.
“ I will be there “ I told her and she burst into happy laughter
“How joyous !, friends , good food and lots of wine !!!!.......” she sang out
Oh I wish I could bottle Eleanor’s positive nature. She has the enviable ability to be able to see the world in a wholly good and efficacious way.
She is charming without ever being false
So that’s Friday booked . Thursday I am meeting my friend Colin for supper and cinema.
We are going to see A Quiet Place 2 which has got rave reviews, a rarity for a movie sequel. I shall be back writing proper film reviews , a thing I have sorely missed .
The rest of the time I’m on night shifts
On Saturday I’m catching up with another old friend Nigel, but not before I go to the first of the village Coffee mornings which will be back in the Memorial Hall. I had an idea that the villagers could organise an “ impromptu “ get together soon on the green with people bringing their own food and drink.
We will see if it gets off the ground....
I’ve very good at giving my ideas to everyone else to run with.
And finally some more views from windows....I used to live next to one of these
it's one big social whirl for you now John x

Isn't it wonderful having dinners and get-togethers and cinema to look forward to again!
ReplyDeleteI’ve also got another London trip all planned for July , this time three days in same hotel
DeleteAnd very good ideas they are. Sounds like you're getting back to "normal". Good for you and good for the world.
ReplyDeleteI will never take them for granted ever again
DeleteWonderful! It seems you're going to be delightfully busy when not at work.
ReplyDeleteAs they say in New Orleans, "Laissez les bon temps rouler!" ie, Let the good times roll!
Happy hugs!
Amen
DeleteI can feel your joy through the screen! xx
ReplyDeleteI’m on the up x
DeleteDon't take anything crunchy to eat during that movie, you could hear a pin drop in the cinema for the first one!! (A scotch egg minus any wrapper should pass muster.)
ReplyDeleteI’m on a serious diet ....fruit for me lol
DeleteYour positive, happy vibes come down the line John - so good to hear.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been sick of feeling fed up pat x
DeleteFor some reason, I imagine you having dinner with Chic Eleanor in a tuxedo.
ReplyDeleteI do have one
DeleteThis is beginning to sound quite a bit like normal. I always imagine Chic Eleanor tossing silk over a shoulder as she speaks.
ReplyDeleteWhich she’s does with aplomb
DeleteHow lovely it is to have a semblance of normality again. I'm off for lunch and some games of Rumikiub in a friends garden today. Looking forward to it
ReplyDeleteOff to google rumiklub
DeleteI still haven't re-visited any cinema since the loosening of restrictions, but I thought 'Quiet Place 2' might have been a good place to re-start, having liked the first one so much. Now I'm not so sure as, from what I read, it's at least as scary and shocking as the original, and I'm not sure if my heart can stand another jumping-out-of-one's-seat experience.
ReplyDeleteGet yer arse out there Raymondo xx
DeleteSorry, but the pussy-cats won't give me permission. :-(
DeleteDinner wit Eleanor - you lucky man! Conviviality returns. So good to be able to socialise with friends again.
ReplyDeleteDinner wit Eleanor - you lucky man! Conviviality returns. So good to be able to socialise with friends again.
ReplyDeleteI knew you’d be jealous
DeleteMy friend Elaine sounds very like Eleanor...it's always a joy to see people who see the world in a good way and who make you laugh.
ReplyDeleteSurround yourself with good people, it rubs off
DeleteThe dinner date sounds wonderful. x
ReplyDeleteIt will be
DeletePeople like Eleanor - I kind of envy them for they see the world so brightly - their glasses always half full, rather than half empty.
ReplyDeleteThey also draw people to them like flames to moths
DeleteMy first thought was, "what has he done, Eleanor is coming after him with a pump-shotgun?" The photo is not related to the first passage. I can just imagine her if it was.
ReplyDeleteShe’d give it a got as long as the pashmina was out of the way x
DeleteI'm glad we all seem to be moving towards normalcy despite the hiccups in the government's reopening plans.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've been to one but I do believe Chic Eleanor can make every occasion a soiree x
ReplyDeleteThe visits seem more special after such a long wait. Glad you are having fun, Darling John!
ReplyDeleteI saw A Quiet Place 2 last week - excellent film and just right to get back into the swing of cinema visits. Looks like you have a fun few days planned.
ReplyDeleteA full slate of good times! Happy for you, John!
ReplyDeleteFriends all bring something so different and special to our relationships I think. Eleanor must lift your spirits so much.
ReplyDeleteThe village get together sounds good
you sound so cheerful! and more fun things planned..good for you john!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at myself after I began wondering what kind of plant was in that pot in the final photo and thinking it looked just like a tree! 😮
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed with delightful friends.
ReplyDeleteLiving the life. All is good when surrounded by good people.
ReplyDeleteDarling is such a lovely word not used often enough, your lucky John, glad that you have another trip planned for July.
