As ya’ll know, The Toyboy is back in my life, as a friend.   He has heard all about the T-Rex until we were both blue in the face and patiently listened to me obsess of what this means or that means. He’s even guided me through a tricky first few dates with a  guy […]

Last night was a hum dinger.  Massive family party with Solid Boyfriend Potential (SBP).  It was his brother and sister in law’s joint 50th and their son’s 21st.  I met the entire family.   SBP looked really handsome.  Having only ever seen him in date clothes, you know, jeans and a blazer or Barbour kinda […]
