I’ve always said Carl Rogers never struck me as a party girl
Earnest and not a bag of laughs
I could be wrong
It’s been all a bit heavy in University today
Hence the chips for lunch
André Rieu - La Paloma (Live in Mexico)
Like I said earlier today has been busy but it has also been productive and funny and with Roger showing latent hormonal infatuations on a scale that Winnie had for workmen in overalls
The day made me smile .
As did André Rieu and his orchestra of many colours in their Mexican concert from a few years ago
It was bonkers
Totally bonkers
I watched it on sky , and was drawn in by the good nature of it all
The humour, the obvious enjoyment and the energy of the locals was a delight to watch
And with everything news being shite at the moment
A few daft frocks, some toe tapping songs and ten thousand Mexicans going bananas
Wasn’t a bad way of passing an evening
I see he’s in concert in Sheffield later this week !
No time
I’ve been busy.
I completed an essay this morning, which only needs the referencing doing.
Did the weekly shop and took Trendy Carol to pick up her car from the garage.
She was wearing something bright that shrieked springtime in a light cotton
Roger is in love with Trendy Carol
Unlike his alpha male , Roger is clearly a ladies man
He spent the journey to the garage lying in Carol’s arms, just looking up into her face
It’s exhausting to watch
You can almost smell his hormones.
In between jobs I listened to a biography of Antoni Gaudi on Radio 4 and the story of Christine Granville who was the first female spy of WW2 and so engrossed , missed. The pharmacy trip on the way home.
The cottage resembles something post drugs bust
Hey ho
Small World
Carlos
On my coffee break, yesterday I messaged Nia Hâf
Are you ok? I asked
She lives with her family in Sydney
And seconds later came the wonderful xxx reply
The world is a very small place sometimes.🥰
Ben
At teatime, I was sat with my coffee and sausage bap ( with glorious fried onions thanks Hospice Chef) in the staff room and I was messaging my rather tipsy friend Ben in South Korea on my iPad.
It was 2 am over there and we had a big fat manly virtual hug before he fell asleep on the couch!
Nia and family
At home I caught up with friend Argentinian Carlos on his holiday cruise to the Falklands, epic and moving, he loved it
And all this from North Wales!
all this has happened today x
Catch me no catch Unless he's a matchless match.
I’ve been writing an essay most of the day and have only seen one person this morning, which was Polish Monica who was out for her run. I did however receive a somewhat mysterious follow up message from Mererid a lady I don’t know well at all and who lives on the side of the Gop. She texted me yesterday saying
“ Hi John, I wonder if I could pop down to see you for a few minutes when you’re available please? Will explain when I see you!! Mererid” and this morning adding “ Sorry to be so mysterious, it’s just I’d like to speak to you about it face to face. Nothing at all to worry about. See you later between 5 and 6 , thank you.”
I was intrigued
She arrived just after five pm, and sat on the couch rather primly only to be bounced on by Roger who has no understanding of social etiquette.
It took me a while to drag him off her, and she had the slightly tousled look any attractive woman had after my father had wished them Happy New Year at one of our family parties .She tried to concentrate but it was hard after Roger waved his paws excitedly from under my arm.
It put her off her stride just a little
Anyway to cut a long story short , she wants to introduce me to a friend of hers from just outside Chester
His name is Richard and he has all his own teeth!
I’m very flattered lol
Beach
The weather is spring-like this morning, and that’s glorious.I have an essay to complete so I’m on the way to the uni library, but stopped at the beach at Colwyn Bay to drink coffee and have the breeze on my face.
It will do
It’s been a sad week all told.
A troll rather stupidly asked why Ive been talking about death so much recently
I’ve been to two funerals this week and work in a hospice !
Duh
Go figure!
I watched myself interact with my colleagues today, and noted their movements too. A hug here, a touch on the arm there. Ruth’s arm through mine, a rub of a shoulder there by Tracy who was half joking about me wearing my Christmas jumper to the service
Reassuring touches, like Elephants touching trunks when frightened by a herd death
We are all animals really.
Tonight I couldn’t settle, until Mary climbed onto the couch next to me.
Typical of the Welsh , she threw herself backwards into the crook of my arm and there fell asleep with her head up.
Ok It’s not fingers running through your hair until you fall asleep kinda contact you’ve craved all week
But it will do………..
