Davebythesea is closing in

[blondie95]

judging by the name of this topic and as we have a forum member called blondie - she really should sing you a song .....

the tide is high.. maybe

She is most welcome to come and sing to me any time she likes - I cannot imagine anything more desirable than Blondie singing to me under the stars while at anchor among the tall trees on the upper reaches of the Fal where only a heron's cry can disturb the idyll of the moment.

i presume you mean THE blondie to sing to you!

[DavebytheSea]

Of course I do! The one in your avatar thingy. Surely there can only be one .....

[huntertitus]

And another flirtation starts on the forum

Hip Hip...

You are most kind, dear Huntertitus.
As you are are aware, I am far too old to be capable of any flirtation, alas - but indeed, I am truly grateful for all the nice things you say. Thank you!

PS I was merely drifting into protective mode, you understand

[huntertitus]

You are never too old to flirt though one can get too old to carry things much further

[DavebytheSea]

Some of us find it is not so much the capacity as the opportunity that wanes with the passing years

[huntertitus]

Maybe it's because you are on that boat hoping to come across some pretty mermaids

[DavebytheSea]

Indeed! but though I have searched all my life, the only ones I have found - though exceptionally pulchritudinous upstairs, so to speak - are rather lacking in the basement.

There speaks a Latin scholar Pulchra, pulchra, pulchram, pulchrae, pulchrae, pulchra.

And what you said reminded me of a sort of opposite sentiment passed on by my father before he passed on. He said "You don't look at the mantelpiece when you poke the fire".

[UserRequestedRemoval]

Ah one of the more useful father/son pieces of information.
The only advice my father passed on was "be yourself" before he died when I was 6 months old.

When I work out who I am, I will find out if that is good or bad advice.

It's a terrible thing to have no memories of a parent. I used to think I remembered my mother but later realised that it was a photograph I was remembering and not an actual memory.

[Great Plum]

I don't even want to think that far, I am not even at 300 yet let alone 3000

The way you are going, it won't be long

There was a young girl who got near the top of the list in a matter of weeks but she hasnt posted for quite a long time

Ah yes, Ruth - she has a 'more involved' job now I believe...

strange that - I have the same experience of my mother!!

[huntertitus]

What a coincidence!

[Richard Ruck]

Astonishing, isn't it??

What IS surprising is that you both have the same birth date!
