#BlogLife217 - Giving J the boot

Good afternoony all :)

Sorry for the late post but I have just gotten in from my market run.

I had intended to pick up lunch and a few other bits from that high quality supermarket but I got sidetracked..

Today to celebrate the end of the toothache, I decided to wear the new ensemble I bought.

Little did I realise that I had made a colossal boo boo. As it happens, both the trousers that I purchased from Yours Clothing are too big for me.

I had looked at similar trousers I owned and guessed the size to be honest, I figured it was a safe bet.

I actually convinced myself it would be too tight. Eek, big mistake. I love the style and one is actually thickly lined.

It was really windy and rainy today but I felt most toasty and comfortable.

I need a belt or something to pinch it together as I cannot be bothered to return them and it's just the waist that is far too loose sadly.

I wore the black kickflare trousers with the new shoe/boots that look childish but are surprisingly comfy to walk in.

Those are a keeper too, even if I don't necessarily like the look of them.

I did try to style my hair but it was too messy so I did twin ponytails instead.

There was a hint of purple eyeshadow but that's washed away. Oh and I teamed it with the pink/silver hearted jumper.

Now to the information pertaining to the title.... As I was striding along listening to music..

I saw a guy that looked lost or confused, he was trying to get my attention so I whipped of the headphones to help and it turns out......

He wanted to ask me out for coffee... I was gobsmacked. He was cute but you readers know, I don't date.

Now here is where it gets peculiar. He noticed my boot/shoes and loved them, just like the other guy and he is an interior designer also.

At this point, my head is exploding and I am wondering if it is the same guy but I don't think it is him.

Strange coincidence though. He says he liked the rocker vibe and is a DJ too.

I told him that I hate the footwear but it's comfy. I'm in two minds about whether or not to accept his offer for a drink.

I told him I needed half an hour to do a few things and would meet him in the coffee shop.

I guess I figured he would be long gone as he seemed to be just passing through.

I did do a weird thing to be honest and we swapped numbers to let him know when I was ready and when I was done I texted him.

I kinda didn't really expect a reply. I was 50/50 about it. Quite tired and achey but he did text and together we walked to a coffee shop on the way to the bus stop.

Then it started raining a bit hard and he asked me what I wanted and at that point I was just thirsty so I got my trusty fanta with lots of ice and he got a cappucino.

I had to delve a bit into my health aspects and was upfront about not looking for anything romancey.

But we seemed to have a pleasant time talking and laughing. He even wanted to get together at the end of the week but I still feel exhausted so I said I would be in touch.

I was supposed to text already but I wanted to get this blog out and feast on my Pret A Manger order.

Men can wait. They haven't been my priority for a long time and as I sat there, I felt more confident, more myself than I usually do in these situations.

It could have been the new clothes, it certainly wasn't the footwear, why that is the new obsession, I'll never know but I guess my naivete is gone.

I'm not desperate to escape my homelife. I can just pick and choose where I want to be.

I doubt he or most can comprehend how exhausting it is to use my limbs and still have energy for anything else.

I want to have a nap but I'm a bit too wired for that. I'll continue binging Bob and Margaret.
