Nice walk

[queencharlotte]

I have just returned home after a pleasant and uneventful walk when I found my new companion perfectly amiable (if rather expansive about a triple by-pass, arthritis and macular degeration) but utterly boring. Still, it`s over and I followed all your kind advices and good wishes.

Oh for someone who makes me laugh ........................

[rowanwitch]

who knows,,,, you have dipped your toe in the water you will be more receptive to a better offer hope someone nice comes into your life soon

[stokemaveric]

well at least you had a nice walk...did your companion manage to finish the trek??? lol...glad you had a pleasent time tho...

[didoatwork]

Plenty more fish in the sea eh! Well done for taking the "plunge". I don't think I could have done it. Good on yer.

[fliptheswitch]

Haha. Oh, never mind queencharlotte. At least you gave it a go!
Just out of interest, how did you meet him in the first place?

See, I told you all a hamster was the way to go... :P

[Quassia]

queen,
oh for goodness sake! Fancy him talking by pass!! Did you make vacant by pass eyes at him? zzzzzzzzzzzzzz ;0) x

[queencharlotte]

Thanks again everyone! Men - not a good idea to regale a new friend with your health problems ....

Nothing whatever to do with it, but I took a double take at a shop window on the way home; people were sitting with their feet in a tank of water and little fishes were swimming in it. It costs £10 for 15 minutes and apparently they eat the dead skin. Ugh

[notasyoungasiwas]

queencharlotte how did you meet him? Both me and flip were wondering this yesterday (and today) in your posts, but you haven't yet let us know. We're hoping to meet a nice companion too you know (lol).

I think this quite uneventful afternoon will lead you to be braver and meet someone to make you smile and more.

[queencharlotte]

Thanks, Mamy - appreciated. Notsoyoung: I met him at a bus stop and we just got chatting. Prince Charming Senior will turn up, one of these days, for you I am sure. In the meantime, what about those feet I saw with little fish eating dead skin, or is this unique to Exeter?

You need one of us debonair, witty ABers, QC - see you are in Exeter, Truro here.

[didoatwork]

The fish shops are spreading all over the country. In Windermere there are two (for the tourists probably).

[ladybirder]

I have asked my family to shoot me if I ever get to the stage that all I talk about is mine or someone else's illnesses. It's so boring, except for the person regaling anyone who will listen.

[didoatwork]

Where are you now DT?

[queencharlotte]

Hiya, Dido, DT and all. Exeter`s my city. We`ve got Liverpool FC with us tonight.

Back to they fishes; do they clean the tanks out before the next customer puts his hoofs in? Or do you just keep using the same water until the fish are bloated and floating and the water is grey?

[rsvp]

so pleased it was 'pleasant' but have to agree funny and exciting is better.

[DTCwordfan]

Truro - now - still got friends in Windermere!

QC - hope the match goes well - I am a Poll supporter though, my 1st match that I attended being a Liverpool derby and the person who took me as a young teenager was a Toffee fan.

[queencharlotte]

Ooh Doc, you are awful. But I love you. Thought you were off to Bingo. No one seems interested in these little fish, so Ii`ll tell you another little nugget from my date`s conversation. "Have you been out with many men since being a widow?" Me "No". Him: "I have, but all older women like you want is companionship, and I still want er, a physical relationship; I still have the instincts of a 30 year old". Me: " Your doggy is lovely, such a good boy." I did think of saying at the end of the walk that his refreshing candour isn`t perhaps the best way of getting his hopes fulfilled.

[ladybirder]

Exquisite QC. You couldn't make it up. LOL.
