January Update

For LL in the UK

My annual trip here was delayed for other social reasons, but I am now enjoying my home near Brisbane, Queensland LL. It is mid summer here, hot and gorgeous (so are the ladies, I know here).

A few days in Singapore preceded my arrival here, catching up with friends, including David C, and a little business. I love Singapore. It's a great stop off point in south east Asia. Down at Clarke Quay eating or taking a trip up to Orchard Street with a lady for a spot of shopping.

Since arriving here, I haven't been out of my shorts (well apart from the obvious reasons). Early morning walks along the miles of sandy beaches, great coffee (flat whites of course). A walk to the top of Burleigh Head and quick trips into downtown Brisbane have all figured so far.

Going south into NSW in a day or so, to revisit a few places that were popular with Ash and I, LL. Incidentally, I'm not on my own here of course.

When I return to the States I will be going via Hawaii, and from there to San Diego. Not a bad life is it. How's yours? Same old stuff, I know...and I do really know. I still have friends and contacts in your neck of the woods. I know your life (and family) have changed, sadly getting smaller, whereas mine has expanded - family and life. Seems you haven't gotten out of the rut of short Spanish trips to the same places either. To paraphrase you - How boring is that!

Sixty five soon LL, I guess you have or will have a bus pass. No such thing where I live. The years that have intervened since 2005 have been filled with travel and life for me. You can't get time back, so I have made the most of those years and still am, living in luxury as I do. It was all yours for the sharing once. I still can't believe how foolish you were and for what you settled for.

Those messages of yours on social media - food and drink mainly - are pretty pathetic aren't they. I'm sure you would agree. Once you were all for living in the States and I bet you would still love to. Ironic isn't it, that it would be easy now I am a US citizen.

Poor decisions LL - your life has been riddled with them. You have lost more men than you have kept. What is the score? 5-1 maybe to use a soccer term. The 1 is dubious as well, if you knew what I do.

As you know I was in the UK recently. Catching up with a friend in Glasgow and someone in Cambridge, apart from a number of people in around London. I'll be back in a few months as I want to show someone else my Sandbanks home in Dorset. In the meantime here are some shots from my few days in Cambridge and around, and the walks we took:

 In the Country

 In the Country

 Along the River Cam

 Rotten Tree

Shot full of holes. The whole metaphor reminded me of you LL

A New Year Update

For LL in the UK

I thought a little update wouldn't go amiss as we enter a new year and ... you approach your 65th birthday LL.

Are you getting any sun over there in January? I do wonder why you go at such a time. I'm over here in London and this evening, Friday January 4, we have our re-union. Buddies are over here too from the States along with old colleagues from the UK.  It's an all uniform affair here in London, no ladies, although I will have one waiting for me here in Knightsbridge.

Then I am off to Cambridge in a day or two. I have a majority interest in two spin off companies there. Spun off from the University that is. High tech stuff which I won't bore you with. Then back to London briefly before going down to my home in Sandbanks. I miss the sea in London! Naturally, I get to see it nearly every day in Florida. I spend most of the winters there now, which of course you could have done...once.

While in Cambridge there is a certain vicar who wants to see me. Nothing religious, in fact far from it. You will understand if you have read my blogs about....her. I also posted extracts from her diary a couple of times. She allows me access to it online.

Spain in January. I can think of warmer places than there. In fact in a few weeks I am off to one of them - Australia.

You really are quite a lump now, aren't you. I know you have been that size before too, even if you thought I didn't know. Physically, you hold no attraction whatsoever for me now. I wonder too what it was that attracted me in the first place, way back in 2003. That will come as no surprise I'm sure, given the women that have frequented my life since 2004. 90% are from a wholly different class, socially and culturally speaking.

I wouldn't have left you ever had you not gone behind my back. Neither would I have left you 'high and dry' if you had decided to return in 2006. But now, no never. Too much water under the bridge and with the best years of your life behind you, there's no attraction anymore.

Your friends and colleagues, according to you, thought I was 'mad' in 2006 when I exacted a little comeuppance on you. Your colleagues but several of your friends were only paying it lip service as they were and still are in touch with me. They believed you received what you had coming and were appalled at how you went behind my back on a number of occasions. I thought you might like to know that little bit of info, although I will not be naming your friends of course; I'll just leave you to wonder just who they are.

I will continue with my blogs featuring the many women I have had in my life since 2004, the cars, homes, boats and the plane and helicopter, just so you are kept aware of what you lost through your own mistakes, poor decision making and equally poor morals.

I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to this new year as I always do, happily and with lots of plans. Life is extremely good LL and has been for the last thirteen years, bar the loss of Ash a year ago. As to your year, I guess it will feature more weekend travels, more eating and drinking and more repetitive vacations. Variety is the spice of life, not repetition. I have plenty of the former and little of the latter. You, on the other hand, well ....

Ciao
