The Joy Of WhatsApp

James and me have been exchanging a number of texts via the instant message app commonly known as WhatsApp.  I really don't know why I didn't buy a Smartphone years ago - they're such a revelation!  He's a deeply witty man and a patient one as he managed to sit through my rant about the council's draconian recycling policies.

Last Night (Not A Song By The Strokes ...)

OK readers ... so I went on a 'date' with James McCoy last night.  We went to the cinema, to see the Tom Ford film 'Nocturnal Creatures'.  I must admit that I found it poncey, confusing and above all, too long.  James seemed to enjoy it though and waxed lyrical about the 'definition of meta storytelling' and the 'outstanding parallel lines of doubt'.  I didn't understand a word of what he was saying, but was entranced by his green eyes and thick dark hair.  We went to a Wetherspoons.  I love those public houses as they're a) cheap and b) comforting.

We parted at 22:16; James gave me a peck on the cheek and then I ran for my train.

Look Who's Messaging

When I checked my messages earlier, I found one from ... James McCoy. Apparently he'd recognised my picture on the site.  We have now swapped mobile numbers ...

Bumble and Tinder

Yes readers, I've joined the wonderful world of internet/online dating.  Why has it taken me so long you may ask?  Yes, well, until recently I'd only owned a 'dumbphone' or to the layman, a non smartphone.  Last week I made the decision to go online and purchase an internet-enabled telephone and my extensive investigations steered me in the direction of a Samsung Galaxy S6.  So far, so good.  I linked it to the house's broadband system and I was ready to rhumble (let us wreck the mike, let us wreck the mike, let us wreck the mike: psych.)

Anyway, I set up my dating profiles, uploaded a couple of my most flattering photographs and I was ready to go.  Within two hours I'd received five pictures of various male genitalia in differing states of arousal, which was extremely pleasant.  I've created a special folder for them all.
