How Sweet
Been on a hot date with the Italian Stallian tonight. Went to see James Bond - and what good fun it was. That’s the thing with James Bond - you know exactly what you are going to get!
Mind you, it left me feeling a little bit down. I quite like Daniel Graig - such wonderful blue eyes - but as I was watching it, I thought he was looking a bit old.
Then I paused.
Bugger. He’s the same age as me.
Mentioned this to LELI in the restaurant afterwards, how he is looking old. “Yes, but he is quite old, isn’t he?” says LELI. “Not really,” I begin, and he interrupts. “How old is he?” “I think he’s 39,” and LELI nods, in a knowing fashion, and he begins to say, “Yes, he is……” when he pauses. “Yes,” I said, “He’s the same age as me….”
LELI changed the subject. Very diplomatic.
However, he more than made up for it by making me laugh so much.
“What does ’sucking up’ mean?”
I begin to explain how it’s crawling to the boss, when again he interrupts.
“Doesn’t it mean absorbing water?”
Oh bless. I mean, he’s right isn’t he? But he obviously heard the phrase, and in his head is someone absorbing water somehow, because he just couldn’t figure out the meaning.
