So the air stewardess drove down to me last night after flying in from Johannesburg. I knew she would be staying over so that put me in good spirits all day.
We cracked open a bottle of wine at mine then headed out to eat at my local tapas restaurant. Over the years, this place has seen me entertain a high volume of unwitting young females and unfortunately there is a low turnover of staff, so a smile cracks open on nearly everyone's face as I walk in with a new edition....
Slightly veering off of the subject, have you ever wondered if air stewardesses get to sleep on the long haul flights? I had no idea at the tail of a plane is sleeping quarters for the staff, generally with bunk beds in. Fact......
Anyway, we sat down to a nice meal and a couple of bottles of wine, with some good conversation. Towards the end of the meal she then asked me if I was dating anyone else. Now, if you have read my previous blogs, I'm fearful of answering this one. They say honesty is the best policy, but it doesn't apply here. You have to make a girl feel special, so she needs to know she is the only one. I told her no, but I have a date tonight with a 23 year old and another with a Virgin air stewardess on friday. I don't like lying, but I think on a second date its a bit of an awkward question. Say it after 5 or 6 dates when you have got to know each other a little better, but its too much of a pressure question half way through the second meeting. I stumbled off of the subject quickly enough and we headed to perch ourselves at the bar.
We hear the stories about what these girls and the pilots are like when they are away and she is definately a stand up case. She certainly can drink and by about 11, she was practically dragging me out of the bar to get me home. I feel that it wasn't the first time she'd done this, but hey, who am I to judge.
Once again we saw the night through till the sun was rising, or the grey clouds in this case. She was having a new kitchen fitted today so shot off early again which I was more than happy with. I managed to get a few more hours sleep and suprisngly don't feel too bad today.
As I said, I have a date with a 23 year old tonight. I'm 33 now, so not quite sure what we'll have in common although I'm quite good with celeb gossip, so if there are any silences, I ll bring up Katie and Peter's split. Any thoughts on a 10 year age gap - is that too much? I'll know this time tomorrow....
