I try to take myself for a cup of coffee at a new place every week, and then I wander the surrounding streets with my to-go cup, because I am a wanderer and no one else in my family enjoys meandering. You'll need to send me your playlist.

Every week?? Lucky you. Bet it keeps you connected to yourself.

Yes to sharing playlist. But it’s all electro if that works for you. Xx

I’m old. Married 35 years. And a few years ago? I gave up. I suppose romance, connection, it all has to fade. And was crushed by that realization. Until? A couple of weeks ago I took myself to dinner. Simple. Bangers and mash. A comfort food. And a Guinness. Then came home to a pair of cats. And a wife who eventually got home and went straight to bed exhausted from overwork.

And today? Another lunch date with myself. Then a visit to an artist who is working on something for me. Something I may write about. Or not. Maybe this is something that just stays in my world.

1) Pls Suggest a good French movie for a Friday date night with self

2) can I book a date with you in August? I’ll be visiting and I’d be honored. This is my bait to get that masseuse number, but really who would say no to good champagne. Not me or you!!

Meena- recently, i loved The Second Act (Le Deuxième Acte). So bizarre and french.

The masseuse I’m afraid is one of my best kept secrets ;))

Yes to Champagne. Toujours !

After reading your story I realised in my ripe old age that I forgot to date myself! Ouff so sad

But never too late to start I guess? As soon as I go back home from my holiday (that I’ve come with my sibling of 53 yrs oops my husband) I will date myself I promise

Thanx for waking me up😀

Love you
