i hadn’t realised it’s been three and a half months since I last posted ! Time does go quickly when you are having fun and are happy 😃
So picking up from the last post.....
Feeling pretty fed up about the man situation I decided to take a break from it but one of my friends suggested I try Zoosk as she had lost of success with it. I did join along with another friend but really if I am honest to support her as she was going through a tough relationship time. Most of the guys who came through did not meet my small number of criteria one of them being distance. Eventually I met one guy for a cuppa - nice but no spark. One guy was very honest and said he thought we were after different things ..... then I was chatting with two guys who both seemed very nice. I planned to meet with them both and in the same day they both called off the dates. One because he said he had realised an old friend had meant more to him than he realised and didnt think it right to meet up - I appreciated the fact he was very honest and a gentleman. The second had damaged his finger and ended up being admitted to hospital. I did wonder at the time if that was an excuse not to meet with me. So I thought hey ho no problem I’ll give up looking and just enjoy my single life.
Anyhow the guy with the finger did contact me again and we met the following week. There was an immediate spark between us - we got on so well and he was totally honest with me telling me all of his background and said that is him and if that put me off then at least I could make a decision to end it then.
I didn’t - all stuff was in the past and we seemed to get on really well with lots in common. Well now it is nearly three months since our first chat online and we have had a whirlwind relationship. I have never felt like this before about someone - yes even my ex at the beginning - it is such a different experience. I never thought I would feel such a strong attraction to someone so quickly. I assumed friendship then a growing love over time but how wrong could I be!
We have done so much together including travelling on a weekend photography trip to Germany together. It was one I had booked in March, but when I mentioned I was going on it he asked if it would be ok if he went too.
It all feels very fast but so right...... both of us have a number of times put our ‘sensible logical’ hat on to question how quickly things have developed and both agree because it feels right and we do have so much in common including values etc. that we will go with it.
I have already introduced him to many of my friends and so far they all think he is great. I’ve met a couple of his friends too. My two daughters have met him and seem to like him and they are happy that he makes me happy. I have yet to meet his daughters or family but one of his daughters is aware and he is planning to tell his mum and other daughter this coming weekend.
This feels so good and so right. I hadn’t realised how much I had missed having someone as a partner who cared for me. I know my daughters and friends care and look out for me and I love them all for being there for me and caring about me. Having a relationship is different and seems to make things more complete.
So ...... I have great hopes that he is the one for me to live my life out.....we have already booked another photography trip for next May !
In other news : I had a lovely week at the theatre summer school and have booked on next years week in August.
My youngest daughter started her new job along with working towards a masters degree. I’m so proud of her. My eldest is coming with me on holiday in November to Costa Rica - I’m really excited that she wanted to come with me.
The show I have been directing has been pretty stressful but will be a great show. One week to go and then it’ll be on stage. In two weeks time it will all be over! But I am directing a new play by a local author starting at the end of the month which will be exciting.
I’ll probably take a break from the theatre group I belong to for a number of reasons and see how it all goes.... want to spend more time with my man - must be good as I never thought I’d not be doing things with the group. The atmosphere is changing there too so it is a good time for a break.
My radio show has gone live again recently - changes there too with working towards goimg DAB.
Weight wise I need to lose a stone.... I really need to work hard to do that.....
My pains have improved from its worst after starting to take L- Glutamine. I’m a bit more achey today but possibly due to the all night dancing my man and I did at a friends party! I finally have an appointment with the rheumatologist on 18th October - ten months after the problems started and over six months from being referred ! I’m a little scared about what he will say and really don’t want to go on any medication, but it will be good to know why I’m having the pains, treatment and longer term prognosis.
Well that’s all for now from a much happier me 😁
