Hot water! Hot date!

Wow. First I have, how you say - a draught? When there is too few men? No - it's something like this... drught or drought maybe? Anyway, you know it I'm sure. Then suddenly I have a queue! Today the plumber came, and I can find this quite hard to face because before my father went a little mad and disappeared he was a plumber and the pipes and boiler and toilettes were always perfect. So when someone else comes to fix it, I feel a bit strange. And so today Felix the plumber came along in the afternoon. The last time I saw him was maybe four years ago. Anyway, today he brought his son. Oh my! What a beautiful man. He's tall and slender but a face like a model, great huge eyes and these incredible cheek bones and a small chin. Quite something. And so I was flirting with him a little - just joking because he's Felix's son - but he flirted back, and with such confidence too. Oh my. And he can't be more than 28 or 29 or something. Well while we were talking, the three of us, David asked me if he could buy me lunch on Saturday. And you know Felix laughed and said his son was an impudent boy - but I couldn't help myself but say yes. His self-assurance is something else. You know I consulted my astrology this week but it didn't say that my life will be raining men. Do you think they really can know what is going to happen? Lzb

Soleil

Hello. Comment? Here it is morning and the curtains are drawn but I will arise in a moment. We missed you the other night. The bar was full and the music was, well, not good exactly but created quite the most perfect background ambience for a group of middle-aged drinkers who had seen better days and were slightly worse for wear. The curly haired pianist, yes it was his work. At the end of the night he left with something young and beautiful and I felt my soleil sink a little. Being young has its advantages doesn't it but still, I don't mind. He is such a wonderful creature to admire. And so, we were talking about friends, non? And I was wondering when you should tell a person that they really can't behave in such a way and also carry the name 'friend'. I think this depends on your role in the relationship. If you are scared to walk away then you will leave it too long. If you are the chief then maybe you fire people too soon. Also - can we ask people to change and expect it to happen? This is a big question. Do people change? LZB
