Angel of god my guardian dear
To whom gods love commits me here
Ever this day be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide
Sleep tight Hen x

Sister singles dating disaster
My little sister has recently become single and has had a couple of promising dates, and one not so much!
Sister single met James in a bar on a girls night out, he was gorgeous and she was drunk.
They arranged to meet in the same bar the next day. Sister single wore jeans and a blazer (standard date outfit)
They settled down with a beer and a rosé and started chatting.
Talk soon turned to how log they had been single and past relationships and James, who worked on a farm, referred to himself in the third person, this is always a bad sign.
He then went on a rant about how he hates women who get drunk, why he took her to a bar I'll never know!
But the main problem with the date was the fact that he'd been sectioned, this in itself is not something you might necessarily think is a fair reason not to see someone after all mental health issues are very common. However this is something that you shouldn't necessarily go into detail about in a date.
The reason for his issues is that his alcoholic fiancé passed away, very sad but that is enough to make a girl run a mile! He should have left the details out for a while, it's a very delicate issue.
Sister single's face said it all and he knew he wouldn't see her again, but in a horrible way I am glad it's not just me that had bad dates!
Sister single and I are going to have a girls night out soon and see where the night takes us.
Until next time
Love

Making friends and not influencing anyone
Last night I attended a networking event for work, it was very interesting and informative from a work front.
London, like most cities can be a lonely place, people don't seem to talk to each other unless the situation, such as this event, demands it.
I make conversation wherever I go, earlier this week I met a pre op transsexual who is a slave to a madam (I couldn't even make this stuff up)
Having said that despite how chatty I am, I'm actually quiet shy. It baffles me sometimes why people would want to be friends with me, I've never seen myself with much to offer in that regard.
But last night I met a lovely woman who apparently wants to be my friend.
We got chatting about the event and the topics surrounding it, gossiping about people we knew in the industry, talking about families.
She has exactly the same sense of humour as me and seems like she'd be a really good laugh.
When you meet someone and you click like that you just know don't you? It was ridiculous that at the age of 28 I still had the feeling that I desperately wanted this woman to like me and be my friend.
How needy is that?!
It was like wanting to sit with the popular girls at lunch and always feeling outside of that group, this woman is successful, funny and cool, why would she want to be friends with me?
At the end of the event she asked if I had a business card (I don't have cards I am definitely not important enough!) so she suggested I write my email address on one of hers so she could email me and arrange to meet up again.
I was elated! Someone wants to be my friend, someone liked me enough at the first meeting to want to get together socially, I was sitting with the popular girls!
It's quiet a pathetic side to my nature really, that I like this kind of validation, but hey, it got validated!
So as I get older and making new friends is as difficult as meeting dates, if not more so, every now and again someone comes along to remind you that sometimes life can be like sex in the city, so Miranda and I will go out for a cocktail in skyscraper heels to find Charlotte and Samantha :-)
Until next time
