Yet again
…another great day. Was supposed to be meeting him for coffee, as he had to go to work this afternoon. I was having a nightmare parking, so rang him as I was waiting in a queue. “Don’t worry, I’ll come to you and we can head out of town.”
So off we headed deeper into Taffland. First stop was the town he spent a lot of his youth, and we wandered around a bit, had a coffee and teacake.
Then we headed to a seaside town - him driving (I could definitely get used to that). Sat on the sea front with all the old dears, I had an ice-cream, he had a cup of tea (how terribly British we were). Then more wandering in and out of a few shops - he was even suggesting craft shops!!!
Back home via a great pub we went to last time we went to the beach, then back to Whotown because he was meeting someone for a drink tonight (me driving back, because he’d had a beer).
The weather was fantastic - definitely not too hot, but I wish I had known we were heading out, and I wasn’t just going to sit in Starbucks for an hour, then wander the market before coming home. My face and neck are lobster red!
In so many ways we have such a lot in common. Of course, it’s not all rosy - and there are some major alarm bells clanging from some vaguely racist comments he has made - not sure how much he actually means them (and for god’s sake, he reads the Daily Mail! How can intelligent people read that stuff?), but a few times now he has said things which have definitely made me feel uncomfortable. I guess I’ll have to wait for it to surface, but I know I won’t be able to handle that.
