The date that was

Sunday night was a bust. I've finally warmed up enough to talk about it. My friends set me up on a blind date. Leaving my expectations at home I set out with four layers of clothes on and decided to take the tube to the restaurant my date had chosen. I followed the directions to the T when I walked out of the tube station I was a little perturbed to find Dirty Dicks on my left and Bad Ass on my right.

Now this couldn't be right. My sweet Indian blind date couldn't have selected such a shady sounding restopub for our first meeting. Imagine telling our kids i met their mother at Dirty Dicks. To my extreme bad luck Dirty Dicks was her choice of dining last night. She swears by their fish and chips.

Well I'd like to talk more about Sonal(that was the name of my date) but she had to leave early due to her irrational fear of hypothermia. Since the snowfall didn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down and she'd brought her car to the restaurant while I'd smartly left mine at home in the garage. After her hurried early exit I finished my food then hers picked up the check and then I headed to the bus stop.

I waited in the freakin' snow for 2 hrs before the news of the bus termination got to me. By now I could have seriously developed hypothermia. Did my date care? No! I'm sure she was home tucked in her cozy duvet enjoying some hot cocoa while my nether regions froze.

Now I was left two options stand there and freeze or walk home. I figured walking would boost my circulation and heighten my chances of bearing children in the future. After a good 3 hours of ploughing through the snow I finally reached home and who should be waiting me for me on my door step other than Perry the cat in his woolies. Perry is my neighbours cat. He usually stays indoors.Talk about added insult to injury even the cat was more prepared for the blizzard than I was. And he seemed completely comfortable in his fur, hat and scarf. But the sight was so cute I forgot about my horrid night poured Perry and myself some warm milk and headed to sleepy land.
