Ruts Not Rutting

You sure are in a rut. Something you vowed you would never contemplate. By way example...each weekend comprises of you wittering on about food, wine, cocktails, shopping and car trips. The car isn't even new. Not difficult to establish.

Just makes me laugh at the life you exchanged yours with me for. 

As you have probably noticed we are on the move again. Had a lot of kind remarks and admiring looks in and around Cumbria about the car - the Aston Martin. Need to get it valeted now.

Time for a little gallery to keep you amused and regretful about your very poor decision making. I know you well enough to realize that you have probably said to yourself - Ahh well it was my decision and I have to get on with the life I have chosen and try and ignore what might have been.

I'm sure that you also realize that I had no ill wishes or antagonism toward you until you messed around behind my back. As others will attest you only cross me once and that's it. So you threw away a life where, as Roy Orbison once sung - Anything you want - You got it!

Here are the photos:

The first few are of S who sent these from Austria where she lives, last weekend. She's changed her hair color, much to my surprise. Young but one of my ladies...if you know what I mean, from back then. Like all that I have known, bar you, they remain in touch even though they have moved on as I have.

~~~~~~~

Coincidentally these were received late last week from C, who you also know...and were jealous of - although I know not why. Perhaps because she is English and very attractive. I gave up working out how your mind works in 2005.

 ~~~~~

These are of P. She's French as you know. Lives in Cannes. Thought you might like to see her again and with some in black and white - a medium I prefer. She was/is a very sexy lady as I have no doubt you can work out from the photos. Just part of my 'collection'. You really did think you had left me high and dry didn't you....no way baby!

No explanation needed here regarding Ash. Thought I would put this in to remind you of the BIG favor you did me.

 The remainder below are a collection of our recent wanderings in the Lake District. Only just down the road but you never took me there. That took an American! I'm one too, now, of course:)

Quite pleased with the one above. Just caught it right with the light and shadows.

So there you are LL, a small update. We are now back in London and in a few days heading for Marbella, Puerto Banus and later Denia and Valencia. Maybe we will cross paths. Now that would be a hoot wouldn't it. Tim goes with us by the way - he's our close security guy. Ex Hereford if you understand that. I think I've only mentioned him once to you - some years back.

Enjoy your trip - we'll be there (Espana) already. What a coincidence....and just because Ash wants some sun.

Ciao

H to K

We are now in North Yorkshire. Had a good chuckle on the way up here talking off and on about you. 

I am mainly modest by nature as you know, so this comes from her rather than me. Ash still cannot comprehend how you passed up on me, merely because you couldn't shrug off your 'small town girl' cloak and join me in a civilized life in my then apartment in London. Yes, I realize I hadn't told you how wealthy I was, so I guess you were perhaps a little unsure about your security. It would have taken a little leap of faith, but it would have demonstrated your commitment.

As things turned out, your short term pleasure won out over your long term good. What were we laughing about? Lots of things - you social media comments, all that 'guff' you uttered back in 2006-7 and probably 2008 if memory serves, the fact you couldn't abide a little flaunting on my part...to name but few things.

Talking of your social media comments...Ash commented on them again, or rather the lack of them. She reckons you are scared of him and therefore can't post anything meaningful on there. 

I guess Ash's biggest laugh is at the photos of you, your food and him. Ash reckons as I do that he is a self opinionated narrow man. Someone who feigns a degree of sophistication that is in fact, quite transparently, not there. It's evident in his dress, and yours, his size, and yours, and both your tastes, whether that is in holidays or life's pleasures in general.

Ash reckons you are both the biggest fool going and a b***h. Cutting your nose off to spite your face., but in the end losing out on so many scores. You did me the biggest favor in 'playing away' behind my back. I would never have met Ash if you hadn't. So, once again a very big thank you for allowing me to meet someone who turned out to be the most loving, attentive and gorgeous woman.

You once spoke of his ' size' in a particular department. Well as you didn't have, neither has Ash any complaints about my performance/size over these past 9 - 10 years. I haven't (nor has **!) needed any encouragement, given the vision of the gorgeous woman I married. She does things you never dreamed of. I guess you must have led quite a humdrum existence in that respect. You might say traditional:) Do recall your remark 'where did you learn to make love like that'? I do! Can he manage four times in 24 hours? I did...with you! 

Enough of that talk...I just thought I would remind you of our more pleasurable times.

Since starting this blog we have been enjoying this part of Yorkshire of which Ash hadn't seen too much, but the Lakes call and we will be there soon. Our attorney in Scotland is joining us for the weekend. As you are wont to say....all too often ... that it makes one sick...Fridays are Special. They may be for you, but for me/us every day is. How you can live what remains of your life in the fashion that you do, beats me. I think it beats you, too.

It's not what you really wanted, if the truth be known, but you made your choice and are well and truly lumbered with it now. I couldn't bear the thought of not being with the person I love until weekends or holidays. After we 'parted' I recall you saying ' why do I always make the wrong decisions'. Well.........you did didn't you with me....big time. 

I told you then but you wouldn't listen. Plus, I think you were/are scared of him and his possible reaction.

All part of history now but you are supposed to take on board the lessons from history - if you have then I guess you aren't the happiest person around. I am and that was the biggest favor/ gift you ever gave me. 

Here's a reminder of that guy and a couple of locations you missed out on among many others...the first is Northern Queensland and the second is Oahu, Hawai'i. You would have loved both!

Onward and upward, as they say,  and that is exactly what we will be doing tomorrow. Parting photo...Waikiki...at night. Fancy a romantic stroll. Whoops sorry, I already have someone 

Ciao...you foolish little lady

H to K shouldn't be difficult to work out......:))

From L to K...Well Not Quite Yet

Like that reference - L to K? I guess, strictly, that should be K to L, but it doesn't fit the itinerary. Maybe B to C is better. If you can solve this simple reference then you will know where we are heading in due course.

No Canada for you then. Hmmmm...you really did make the wrong choice didn't you

Thought you might like a little UK travelogue in photos:

All of the above were taken in Dorset during our stay at our home in Sandbanks, Poole.

The last three were taken in St James's Park London...one of my favorite places in Town.

As I said in an earlier blog we are heading northwards in due course and then from there to France etc.

In the meantime this is where we spent last weekend:

The last photo is 'John's' home. Not his real name of course. The other photos are part of his extensive grounds. There wasn't a car there that was worth less than 150K.

Just in case you had forgotten him. Here's that guy again ...just two days ago..enjoying coffee at the above location. Still the same weight , isn't he (sadly, the same doesn't apply to you). Less hair and a little grayer...and a whole lot wealthier than when you knew him!

Slight change of subject. Do you recall a conversation in a car park in Florida? The one where he said he wasn't going anywhere, ever? Do you know what...he wasn't ...until you did. You passed up on the best bet in your little life, when you wandered. Immodest...BUT...true.

One last photo for you....of the lady that replaced you...and lady is the operative word...in her case. She took the photo immediately above :)

......and he took this one in London.

Happy reading.

Ciao
