How did my date with Mr A go last night you may ask? Well, let me tell you - it was very enjoyable.
We left work early and moseyed on down to the south bank where we indulged in a few games of tenpin bowling. I was pleased that I didn't have to wear a pair of special shoes with your size emblazoned on the back because I have rather large feet! Mr A was rather a good bowler and managed to knock down a number of strikes and spares, he was a gentleman though and let me win a few games!
We then went for a meal at an Italian type restaurant which faces the Thames and had a lovely time, we ordered a carafe of house red and really kicked back and enjoyed ourselves. Mr A told me that he was hoping for promotion to Grade 6 - a job dealing with the European Earthworm Preservation Directive was up for grabs and because of his previous experience dealing with the Straight Cucumber Directive he was in a good position to apply. I did giggle when I thought of Mr A and all of those straight cucumbers and he replied that he was continually amused by the strange things which took place in Brussels and regaled me with a story of a colleague who was mugged whilst getting money out of a cashpoint at midnight in a red light district of the city!
We walked back hand-in-hand to Charing Cross station where Mr A ensured I caught my train. He invited me over to his flat in a couple of weeks time ostensibly to listen to his various Monty Python albums and drink his collection of Bulgarian wine. I accepted but made a mental note to wear an all-in-one body shaper that particular day which even Harry Houdini would find difficult to get out of!
I'm really looking forward to my weekend away in the Cotswolds next week. I've packed my wash bag already and am looking forward to using a Corby trouser press for the first time since September 2008. I adore coach tours, I can't bear driving, it's great value and my fellow travellers are always so much fun!
