I wondered what had happened, I thought you may have been swept off your feet by a knight in shinning armor!! We have been very busy too, full to capacity next week with someone turning up tonight and NO washing machine again But I will go to the Laundry if it cannot be repaired, the drum seal was off and tangled around my washing....it is still under warranty so fingers crossed!!!!
I have a Valentine memory, hope he is not on this Forum...here goes.
I was 16 and me and mum ran a cafe and used to get regular visits from the local beat policeman who was 18, I fancied him but was going with my to be husband and the policeman was engaged and always always talking about her romantically, buying her stuff and telling me and mum what he was planning....time passed they married, we all kept in touch and he still appeared romantic and of course I married. Lost touch but knew he had done very well in the force and that was an achievement in itself, he was of "his words" Gypsy origin and was a small, long haired Buddist hippy ho played classical guitar and wrote about lost worlds. I did a placement in a police station not too long ago and remembered he worked there so I asked about him, they called him Confusiouse and said he used to play his classical guitar to the prisoners in the cells!!! He had JUST retired and blow me, he turned up to collect some stuff, we chatted and again he went on and on about his wife, told me how long he had been married for and how he was taking his wife for a surprise valentine trip to China, he planned the route with a train ride to co incide with the Cherry Blossom comming out on the trees, he had bought her a Ruby ring etc etc....I thought...truly romantic, oh he also spoke Mandarin!! Anyway, I knew he went on to teach Thai Chi and grow Bonsai Trees and found out, he had numerous affairs for years so YES....a True, two timming romantic!!
