Is Rudi on board a boat here? I think he might be, in which case I am happy. For I am off on a boat trip later myself. A blind date with someone called Oliver. I am breaking all dating rules by not meeting on neutral ground. What if he is a nutter and he gets me drunk then chucks me overboard? Hmm. I shall text his car registration to Rosalind just in case I don’t make it back to dry land. And the name of his boat. Yes dear readers, I am going on a date with someone who owns both a car AND a boat. Heavens.
Rita came over last night and I made Rudi’s Spaghetti Sauce. It’s a good one to do when you know you will be talking 19 to the dozen and quaffing copious amounts of red wine as you cook. Easy peasy. Rita had a little weep when she got all melancholy about moving house. She has lived in the same house for over 20 years so it is much more of a wrench than my forthcoming decampment. This time next week I will be installed in the Palace of Solitude with NO LANDLORD. I will no longer have to mind my Ps&Qs. I will be the mistress of my own destiny. Bring it on.

And does the sauce also have red wine in it? x
Yes my dear! It sure DOES!

You froze on my blog roll at the celery a la shrimp four weeks ago – I thought you were on holiday or something.
But no! You’ve had a swanky revamp. I approve: it’s very swish indeed.
WELCOME Mr C! Yes, it is rather SWISH isn’t it? And I do love the word swish. My designer suggested I switch to WordPress which I have done but there are all kinds of downsides like losing all my followers (boo hoo!) – I may find a way of posting to Blogger at the same time as WordPress which might help though! Hope all is well with you xx
I also lost track of you as my blogroll didn’t list any new updates. I thought you were on sabbatical so it’s been great finally catching up with you and your adventures.
Keep us updated on the dates too. I remember that stage and wondering if the date would be my last–in the sense that I may end up in plastic bags in some alleyway. Gruesome I know. But it’s one of the many things you consider in these circumstances!
I just read a really bad (so bad it’s good) Valentino bio. Just seven cents plus postage from amazon.com–it mentioned that he was a huge glutton and loved his food, sometimes eating three helpings of pasta for breakfast. Obviously it was exaggerated but I’m sure his sauce is delicious.
I switched from blogger to wordpress which means all my followers have lost the link which is a big shame. Not sure how I find them all again – it’s on my list of things to do though!
