EASY FRIENDSHIPS........

err.....after a "nip" or two............

Dear Diary.......

Had a real nice time at this do last night........met a really nice eccentric lady.....we are now firm buddies....amazing what a bottle of bad wine can do to one....the next thing she is inviting me to her home down the coast and wants me to paint a mural on her restaurant wall!!!!!!!!

Her greeting was a follows........ " Hi....you look interesting............" Me.....(wishing I was at home)......." oh hello" (I'm very quick)
Her....." I just looooove your messy hair" " who are you?"
Me......"I'm"
Her....." Oh yes, you were pointed out to me by so 'n so...."I just had to come over, I want to look like you!"
Me....." huh?"..........(told you I was quick)
Her...."gabble gabble gabble gabble gabble"
Me..."really"..smiling and nodding.
Her.." I hear you are gabble gabble gabble gabble...."I'm Annette...I'm divorced, retired, got a shit load of money and I've bought a restaurant down the coast, and I want you to come and paint for me, it must be a mural of the dead trees of Kariba, and you must change my image and tell me what to wear and change my image and would you like another drink and do you smoke and do you like walking on the beach at sunrise and sunset and are you married?"
Me.."huh?"
Her.."here is my card, and I'm going to call you and...oh! who is this nice looking gent?"
Me......."huh?' Me....glancing around...."oh. my husband, Eaden meet...meet...meet...." Her..."Hi!, I'm Annette and I'v been telling your beautiful wife that I just adore her look and her messy hair and I also want to be overweight and have orange hair and funny clothes and she is going to come and stay with me and change my life and change my image and gabble gabble gabble gabble."
Mr. Eaden Stanley Young........"????????" ( could not be controlled 'cos he was laughing so much) Whereupon.........the lady in question, lit another smoke, choked her drink and grabbed my arm...... "Come over here!'....."I want you to meet my other new friend". I looked up, hoping that the bruises would not show on my delicate white arm the next day........... To see the hostess, (who happens to be one-of-my-oldest-die-hard-friends). She too could not be controlled. She was laughing so much she was crying. She...."aaaah bev," she cried. " I see you two have met?" Annette...(who by now was tottering on her snakeskin platform shoes)
"LINIELLLLL !!!! !"....she screamed..........." LOOK AT THIS F****NG BEAUTIFUL WOMEN THAT I HAVE FOUND!' 'ISN'T SHE THE BEST?" "LOOK AT HER WONDERFUL CLOTHES ! I WANT TO LOOK LIKE HERRRR! "I MEAN SHE IS NOT EVEN OLD...SHE HAS HER OWN TEETH! Whereupon, the entire gathering burst into laughter......fortunately, it was rather late...and everybody was a little "merry"..............phew! -------------------------------------------------------------- I do not go out often, and seldom make such fast and firm friends. Amazing what life dishes out? With that little story....my Friday morning story, I will leave...... love bev

aaah Africa.....my beloved.........seeya!
