And we all know what happened to her, I’m not sure why
Princess Frog thought it was a good idea to follow, when I’d not even had a
drink but I obviously did.
It’s quite unusual that I do two blog posts in two days but
a lot has happened since the one I did yesterday and if I wait my little blonde
head will forget or implode and I’m not keen on either.
So, last night I sent the Dr a LinkedIn message, it was very
general and pretty short (as in words, not my temper) just saying I’d been to
Oxford and the friend had mentioned him, I hope all was well and it had been
years, I said nothing that needed a response and I didn’t really expect one,
however I got one.
He said that it had been ages and he couldn’t believe anyone
was asking about him, he asked if I’m working in London (there is a photo of me
by Tower Bridge) said he’d worked there for about 3 years and said he hoped all
was well.
I did quite a lot of eeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk’ing and called the
friend/mum up and told her, she was also doing a lot of the same noises! She
also told me not to phone her again without texting first, I use the phone so
little that she thought it was either the paramedics telling her I was in an
accident, or the police telling her I’d been arrested, which to be fair pretty
much sums me up, if you can’t say it by Whatsapp or Facebook message do you
really need to say it at all?
I responded saying that I do some work there but travel a
fair bit for work and that I’d done some work in Belfast a few years ago, I
asked if he was back home these days following the London comment.
He said yes, that he’d taking up a Consultant post two years
ago, he’d have stayed in London but went back for the kids, who are there with
their mother, he said that they are going through a pretty unpleasant divorce,
that gave way for another little squeal, which is bad really as I don’t believe
in divorce at all, I know it’s quite common now but I think if you get married
you do it once (yep, that’s why I haven’t)
I asked how old they were, he’s got a 15 year old, I find
that hard to believe, I guess I still think of him in his early 20’s, he’s a bit
older than me but only by a couple of years I think. I was quite excited to
speak to him, who doesn’t like a walk down memory lane? He told me he still
gets over to London a bit for work and to see friends.
I had a bit of a Facebook stalk, like you do (you do right?)
he looks older than I would have thought but as I said before I remember him 20
years ago and a lot can happen in that time can’t it?
I got a message from Cake Destroyer last night and I still don’t
know how I feel about it.
Before we met I knew that he was going to be posted and I
knew where to, it’s somewhere that I used to go to regularly with an old job
that I did about 11 years ago, it’s about 80 miles from home and takes approx
an hour and a half in the car, so I was cool with it and obviously thought it
was do-able.
He is currently 35 miles away but it’s still over an hour as
there is little motorway in between, in the time we’ve known each other (we
matched on 16th July) we’ve managed to see each other twice, once
when he was given a days leave and once when he was on his two weeks leave and
we met in the middle but Phase 1 training means he is completely at the RAF’s
disposal 24/7 so I know they are keeping him really busy.
He had been told that his Phase 2 wouldn’t start until
January, which he wasn’t particularly happy about but I was kinda hoping that
they would leave him where he was which would have hopefully have given us the
chance to work out how we felt and if we intended to go forward. We had
discussed it last week and he said he was annoyed at the fact that he didn’t
want his career to be put on hold for the rest of the year, so I’m really
pleased for him that won’t be happening but a little sad for us that he’s going
to be so much further away so soon. He graduates next week and his posting
starts the week after so it’s only 10 days away now.
He hoped he would get leave this weekend and had said on our
date that he’d like us to see each other but I’ve not heard anything so doesn’t
sound likely, which is a shame as I have a rare free weekend. If he gets the
following weekend off then it’s a race weekend and I’ve got plans for all three
days, including the Friday which I have booked off.
I just feel a bit like it’s game over, it may not be the
case but I guess we’ll see, the message came in quite late last night, just
before midnight and I made the mistake of reading it, I then couldn’t sleep so
I’m pretty tired today.
He’s not yet been on Whatsapp since last night so there is
no response as yet, maybe we’ll have more blogs this week?
I find it really weird when it all goes wrong that you get
used to hearing from someone every day and then all of a sudden you don’t, I
guess you get used to it though.
Cunt Face knows I’m there next week, I don’t expect to see
him though.
The Vet’s Mum is in today, that made me laugh!
