Gosh, what a relief @Ergates - on two counts, that it's not sinister and that a doctor could see you.
@D0rdogne_Damsel is he the same gentleman friend you've mentioned before? Tell him you like him and want to be friends but you don't want a relationship. Then he'll know where he is with you.
@tui34 I definitely won't be wearing high heels! I have some quite pretty, but flat, navy sandals that will go with the dress.

Thanks, @Busy-Lizzie. Very envious of your opportunity to dress up! I havenāt worn heels for years, but I have kept a couple of pairs of the prettiest ones, couldnāt bear to part with them! The red stilletos still fit, but I certainly couldnāt walk in them! Sorry to hear about your slow recovery, @punkdoc. It will be so frustrating if it delays your second hip op. Hopefully you will start to improve soon.Ā
Fingers crossed for you both @punkdoc ā¦ and do as Moira tells you š¤Ā
I enjoyed choir this afternoon Ā ā¦ a really good session of rigorous work followed by well-known Christmas carols with all the descants etc. ā¦ great fun. Then it was tea and homemade mince pies and lots of chat.

Hello again, managed to get all my Xmas cards written. Fortunately we were able to hand deliver most of my family ones when we saw them over the weekend so that cut down the list quite a bit. Decided to cut out the cousins as well, there's too many of them so sent a Whatsapp Xmas message instead.
That sounds rather alarming @Ergates but good that you were able to get sorted via the GP quickly. Hope the blood tests come back OK.
Hi all,Ā As ever, thank you for all your advice. It is the same gentleman, and I really do like him, we've been friends for years, he's always been very 'tactile' and I've never thought anything of it, he has a bad leg so when we walk together I always support him. Again, never thought anything of it. I did explain, in an email, the limitations of my feelings, and said I didn't want to jeopardize our friendship, he said he understood, and I thought that was that.... But he's being a little persistent, nothing bad, but now I realise the twinkle in his eye is for me.
Last time I saw him, I told him we're not 17 anymore and it needs to stop, so difficult, he thinks he has a chance. In all honesty, if he were my own age, he would have a chance, but I just can't get involved with someone so much older than me, it will only end badly. How on earth does one explain that to someone, if I were looking for someone it would be someone likely to be around for a bit longer yet. And of course, there's no guarantees, anyone of us, whatever age, could be gone tomorrow.Ā
As far as the ballet is concerned, it's showing at the cinema across the road from CdeG, I'll offer a pre theatre supper here (no charge) and of course offer to buy my own ticket at the cash desk, I know he won't accept, but a meal is probably comparable in price so not too bad. I will definitely try and find some other interested parties to join us. š¤
I may be badly mis-representing the male parties on this forum, but I'm sure at least some of you have memories of going to the cinema with a girl aged around 17 and thinking you'll get lucky....if in our heads we all still think we're young why should it be any different. Oh, I do wish life were simpler. š
On a more positive note my cupcake workshop with the children went really well. They had a fab time and the cakes and biscuits came out perfect, big surprise there, especially the biscuits, they were very roughly handled.š

Sounds like you have your head screwed on right, @D0rdogne_Damsel! Iām sure youāll cope fine with your admirer and will ensure he gets to enjoy your company without giving him false hopes. And you might as well enjoy the attention!Ā @AuntyRach, I remember buying the Christmas Radio Times every year! It was a real treat going through it and choosing what films and Christmas specials to look forward to. However, there are now so many channels, and the pay channels as well. I occasionally buy a weekend newspaper with a āmagazineā giving the weekly listing of all the terrestrial channel programmes. There is just so much information that Iāve never really been able to decipher whatās on when - and they all seem to be repeats! It was much easier in the good old days.Ā
Morning. The cyclone has landed in the Cairns district and all the news is about that. Ā No deaths mentioned, so thatās good. Ā Iām always a bit nervous when those storms hit. We lost our home and everything 50 years ago in cyclone Tracy. And have never been back to Darwin since. š¤¬š„¶Ā

Glad you enjoyed the choir practice @Dovefromabove.Ā
Enjoy the opera tomorrow @Busy-Lizzie, it's so nice to be able to dress up occasionally.
