My day started great today, Tommy and myself are catching the flight home from Heathrow at 12.15 so we arrive 2 hours early and get upgraded to Business Class so are entitled to go sit in the First class lounge, Tommy takes full advantage of the free bar and proceeds to get rather tipsy, I'm driving later so sip away at a Merlot, have a croissant and look at the beautiful people. One of the beautiful people is an Australian man, with a gorgeous little boy who sits beaming a big toothless smile at me, I'm smiling back at him and he's giggling away. Dad tells me it's been a big week for the wee fella, he's learned to crawl and he also now waves..Dad is beaming with pride, and on cue the wee man waves at me both dad and I look at each other and share a smile, he's a cracking little fella, I wish them both a safe journey and leave for home.
The flight's quite eventful as T has had a few drinks by now, topping up from the night before, and is now quite drunk, he proceeds to try and chat up the flight attendant for an hour or so and she is actually enjoying his chat, he gets her number and is meeting her that night for drinks, he's a charmer our Tommy.
I'm driving down to AB's as we're going out to dinner and I'm really looking forward to seeing her, it's been a month of texts, e-mails and very brief phone calls so it's great to get a chance to talk normally.
And boy can we talk, she's so easy to chat away with, we talk about work, family, friends and anything else that enters our heads and dinner flies bye. We go to the Inverkip Marina for food, the name of the place escapes me at the moment but the food was really nice. AB looks amazing and I can't keep my eyes off her, I tell her this and for once she does not comment flippantly, she accepts the compliment and I'm feeling great, this is going well tonight, we're great in each others company and AB is actually relaxing, it's not so hard this dating an Ice Queen, I could get used to this. The only slight dampener to the evening is the fact my backs in bits at this point but the painkillers are helping and so is the wine. Dinner ends and we move to the bar for a drink ,we chat for Scotland and are the last ones out of the restaurant, we head back to AB's for a kiss and cuddle and it rounds off a brilliant day.
Carlsberg don't do Saturdays but if they did this has been one of them.
