Remaining Friends

Thanks MJ, two chaperones are better than one so hopefully you can make it through to Edinburgh with me. It is good your perception has changed over the years, to now believe that men and women can remain friends - even though desire in most cases creeps in although you think it may be more curiosity than desire sometimes. 


I have been guilty of the reverse. Although intrigued from the start, I avoided what could have been a good friendship, which I never would have done in my youth. Despite being blind-sided by more circumstances, I have been given the chance to start afresh with basics - conversations of more than two words at a time should also help! 


And then I will have Edinburgh, safe and comforting, all my concerns have melted away. I can feel the love emanating already - I just need to find comfortable but sexy shoes to wear however I have worn short black boots to work and my feet are not sore at the end of the day, so they should be able to cope with a night of dancing, although the witchy effect could be better but I think the black suede thigh high lace-ups might be a bit distracting and really do require the short, swirly sun and moon dress which I love but can no longer button. Some would say that's not a problem however . .  and I still stand by the high boots being best to ensure you go home safely - they would take too long to lace up again if you were 'elsewhere' first I'm sure. So it's looking like a long swirly skirt or jeans but I was too self conscious to wear jeans often there. So many decisions as I want to feel good and confident but not attract unwanted attention - the usual dilemma but the guys will keep an eye out for me too, as always. And can I still fit into my biker jacket, preferably zip it up as Edinburgh will be cold between pubs?


I've given so much thought to March, but little for later today or next weekend. I'll see what the weather is like. It is really an after work event however the last one I went to, my friend went home to change into a dress and I was dancing on the stairs in a 80s bar in my work suit! Yes, the sequel will be arranged and follow soon. I hope all goes well today.


My music list i.e. singing them all day in my head yesterday were:-
Prefab Sprout - Looking for Atlantis
The Decemberists - Down by the Water
Thin Lizzy - Dancing in the Moonlight
- today was a bit more fraught so no songs sung
I have failed as techy. I only recently discovered my much loved mp3 player was not in fact a sealed unit and I could replace the battery. I now have music to commute to again, well beyond the bus stop!
