It may be spring but it's still a bit chilly round the gills what with the hailstones and the drip-drip-drop of little April showers

'Tis also the time of year when an young man's fancy turns to ... heuuu ... other stuff

Cue, stage left, Enola ;@)

A while a go, i explained that Enola suggested that we go out for a bit of a casual drink.

We finally did so with a few colleagues which, whilst good fun, meant that over the course of the evening she had to fend off various comments about how, y'know ... being on her own in Pareee and all that ... how she could be having fun ... such a shame how her bloke was in the U.S ...

Enola stopped by my office this afternoon and whilst we were nattering away about how our respective weekends went, she pointedly mentioned that blokey in the U.S was no more

Enola is at present footloose and fancy free, so it would seem
