Fun and Games!

Went out last night - was quite a nice, slightly drunken evening, and spent a large chunk of it chatting to a rather dishy guy who's in the SAS - well you would, wouldn't you? And I think he would as well, to be quite honest - except, it was rather a family do, and he's a friend of my stepson - eek! But I must say, I'm rather enjoying the extra male attention I seem to be getting lately, and have decided to embark upon a kind of self improvement thing. Well, you know, when I was younger I used to spend hours on my appearance, shopping and all that stuff, and honestly, I don't now. And really, I think I should at my age - if nothing else, will make me feel more confident I think. Though I must say, getting chatted up by a younger yummy soldier (and I'm not mistaken he was) was rather a tonic. And I do feel also, I could do better, you know? So that's the plan at the moment - a little self indulgence.

I've also been up to some mischief - got a lovely surprise email from a guy I spoke to once, but who I rather liked. He's very near where I live and loves opera like me. Well, a little unusual. Also, not as stuffy as that sounds, as we did have quite an amusing conversation - nice, cos some of these are rather earnest and a little dull! So that was nice. So sent him a brief reply - and will see. But I really did like his sense of humour, and that counts for an awful lot I think.

I've also been chatting with a lovely, young man in Dubai. Oh, how naughty, but how delicious. He's thirty!! OMG What am I doing??? But he loves older women and is just so sweet, what can I do? My oh would go insane - hahahaha. He's very intense in that way that arabs are, and is also quite shy. And also extremely naughty. Oh dear, no good will come of it, you know.

And, do you remember my slave? What fun - well, he's back! I've not spoken to him for ages, but he hadn't forgotten me - bless him. Calls me mistress. Well, how addictive could that be? It does make me wonder just how much I might like that in real life - would I, could I? Goodness me, aren't I exploring some interesting things? And isn't it fun?

My and my darling daughter have been making some plans for next year, and one of them is to go to Egypt - how mad? But we have decided to sell the (enormous) house, and rent for a while, so we will have some money - and my god, life's too short isn't it? Also the plans for the trip to Spain are coming along well - and my goodness I do love spanish men, so some possibilities there - although I don't think I can cope in the summer - jeez that heat! So may go sooner rather than later. And I'm also going to the Glastonbury festival - wonderful. I can't tell you how much happier I feel having some lovely treats lined up for next year - really makes this horrible wet weather bearable.
