The Great Pumpkin Eater

Gardener's World

Linda's Garden

The Secret Garden

Two years ago, my late wife got a suprise. The previous year, I had left some pumpkin seeds in the compost pile, I expected them to rot, or freeze. The opposite happened, we had a bumper crop of healthy pumpkins. This pleased her totally, she loved pumpkins, for my part, I can't stomach pumpkins

A Carole Lombard film I didn't enjoy

 Love before Breakfast

Movie Nights

Cesar Romero

The reason I didn't enjoy this film has nothing to do with Carole Lombard, I disliked the Latin lover role played by Cesar Romero. The role is very sleazy, and over the top, the buy-out ploy worked better for Wallace Beery and Jean Harlow in Dinner at 8.

Until this week, I hadn't seen a Jean Harlow film, I found out I do like her as an actress.

The Green Party

 Armed Forces

Issues of Trust

A life of Crime

To most peope, especially Armed Forces personnel, the term "green" means new, or untested. This applies to the Green Party in the UK.

One of their policies is to ABOLISH PRISONS, can you imagine that?

They are worse than the Labour Party, yes that is possible. If they win an election, they may a well abolish the Police, and the LAW systems, without prisons there is no point in taking people to court. Life will be like playing the game Anarchy, only for real

Romance in Didcot

 The True Path of Romance

Meeting Svitlana

I am still unsure if the planned meeting in Didcot will happen, after a short chat today, I am a little more at ease than I have been for the last few days.

I am prepared for the day trip to be a visit to the area, if that is the case, I will still enjoy the day, as there are some places of interest for me to visit nearby.

You're the one I want

My lady friend in Oxfordshire

An evening with Svitlana

The True Path of Romance

Though I am still not 100% certain my meeting in Didcot will happen, after a chat this afternoon, some of my reservations are a little more relaxed. Svitlana appears to be set that I am her man, that suits me, if she is telling the truth. Until we meet, I am prepared for her NOT to turn up, if that is the case, I will have a nice day trip.

 Would I be missed?

Could I be tempted from Svitlana?

Until this afternoon, I would have said it would take a lot for me not to want to be with my friend, Svitlana, things have changed. I don't know if she does find me attractive, or if she's playing me to get money for subscription site.

I am prepared for NOT to turn up, when we arrange a meeting, if that happens, I can still enjoy the day as I can vist Wallingford Castle.

The best way to know if a person is genuine is to go out, and meet people, for an introvert like me, that is extremely hard. I thought myself unattractive, then the ladies online said I was wrong, now I find they may have said that to boost their pay from sites.

That doesn't impress me

 What do you see in me?

Do ladies find me attractive?

What comes next?

I can't tell you what comes next, it is out of my control. What happens now, is in the hands of my friend in Oxfordshire.

I would like to meet her, to try to build a relationship, but I have doubts our meeting in Didcot will happen.

For weeks, I onderwod why I was being approached by business ladies, I put it down to running a business left little time for romance. I accepted, I'd be nothing more than a "bit of rough," to the ladies.

This week, another aspect arose, they are on subscription sites, so chatting to them pays for their attention.

So, they question arises, did they find me attractive, or was I intriguing as the new man on the block?
