Questions

 What are you watching?

What are you eating?

Where are you going?

I have made a blogpost every day this year. This evening we are just about to pop down to Stew and Frances's place for a takeaway curry meal to celebrate their move. Ian and Sarah are coming up from London as I write and it is very possible we may not get back to our house till beyond midnight so I left these words just to temporarily fill the space and make sure that March 31st is covered. A  proper blogpost should come later.

Friday

 I met my friend Faisal for coffee this morning. 
He was, you may recall at the first LGBTQ book club a few months ago.
He is the politest man I’ve ever met and soon will be moving back to his family home abroad, where he will help with the family business which is a garage and convenience store. He is in his forties and not out to his family. 
I like him. He speaks carefully and with much thought and never rushes an answer, which is always considered and balanced. 
He’s never had a boyfriend, but seems not to mind this fact explaining he has only been out with his friends for just under a year. 
We have lunch from the Thai on Thai and I was made up as the owner came over as were were eating to tell me how good my technique with my chopsticks was. I was eating rice traditionally with the bowl up to my mouth and she gave me a toothy thumbs up which really made my day
It’s funny that I’m so clumsy with eating my food using a knife , fork and spoon but give me a pair of chopsticks and Im a wizz…..

This afternoon I took Roger to the groomer and he’s looking mighty fine when returned 


Just after we got home I got some beautiful roses delivered.

Venice

 

Thank fuck for that ….covid neg today.
I was out minutes after the swab and with my friend Colin in Liverpool within an hour where I soaked up my weight watchers extra points on a fab Lebanese lunch ( no pud)
It’s so nice to sit in a window of a nice cafe and talk and eat and talk more.
We gossiped like old ladies do in Central Park on a Sunday.
Towards the end of lunch Colin turned to me and said 
“ Do you know what, I really fancy going to Venice for a few days do you want to come?”
I said yes before he could take another slurp of his foul mudammas
How good is that ?
