    Day out was gloriously sunny which was handy since we went to the coast and spent a ridiculous amount of time on the 2p arcades, wandering around the seafront and generally chatting and laughing lots again.

    That's good - it's going well?

    The downside is I at least have caught the sun slightly - put some aftersun on my face and currently looking for the normal one for my shoulders and chest.

    Or put some oil and salt on - get the crackling done to perfection... ;)

    Was planning to cycle to Tesco for food for dinner than realised the time and that it'd be almost dark by the time I was heading home so changed my plan to cycling a 2 mile loop and popping in to the Express store and I'll do some proper shopping tomorrow on my way home from work (after a visit to job 2 to check the rota).

    I too should shop... :eek:

    It's going well, slowly but well. More surprisingly is that I've been sober when meeting him on 4 occasions. And still enjoying spending time with him.

    I'll stick with my moisturiser......

    Shopping is useful, means there is food.

    Slow isn't a bad thing.

    That's what you should be looking for in those bloke kind of things.

    Hmm right now I'm at the point of thinking any slower and we'll end up friend zoned.....and I'm reasonably certain thats not his intention from the texts he was sending to my lovely Canuk on Sunday night.

    No I'm mostly hoping that moisturiser will stop me getting crispy.

    Can't argue there but equally. No shopping = no food = hangry....

    You can measure the time since you've started this in days. In fact if you came from certain parts of East Anglia, you could count them on your fingers...

    So why are you worrying?

    How is your Cannuck BTW?

    Hmm 4 weeks since date one and other than a quick peck there has been no kissing which seems rather slow (admittedly normally I'd have also consumed vastly more alcohol which would have made me more likely to push things on).

    She's sort of ok some of the time. So about as good as you'd expect.

    Crispy hurts so I like to avoid it.

    I haven't been at work since Friday morning, and if there was no milk for coffee I'd have been evil.

    You don't have to be drunk to push things on. Women get away with *everything*...

    Taking it hard. Still no explanation?

    Milk and sugar? Or just milk?

    Date 4 assuming you count him coming to swim and dinner last week. Coffee, dinner, swim/dinner and today.

    Yeah but without alcohol I'm too bloomin shy.

    Nope she's not spoken to him properly since it happened but he's away again with work.

    Just milk, I rarely use sugar in coffee at home although I have got some flavoured syrups I'm trying to use up.

    I tend when I get coffee out to get flavoured ones and take sugar in coffee at wrk as it's quite strong, so a colleague gave me a box of syrups for Christmas.

    Back at my main job today was slightly painful, always takes a while to get my head around everything we have going on again!
