Bizarrely more abt Miss T..? 15 9 9 (11) 25 1 23

Like any other relationship with an attractive young lady meeting Miss T made the last week of my holiday a most pleasurable experience, which to my surprise had taken place over 2 full days, straddling three days from 26th to 28th August.

Upon reflection Miss T had given very little away in conversation but before long I was to learn quite a bit about her life because by October 10th I had invited her to accept my friendship on f-book, and she had readily accepted it though in messages we exchanged she complained that all her student pics from her days in Brighton left her feeling somewhat embarrassed, whereas in my view of course I saw them as representing much harmless fun...

Then by early November of the same year she was back home in Japan having travelled pretty much non-stop since July 4 months earlier, proclaiming Croatia to be the most beautiful country she got to visit out of a long list of maybe 20 different countries, a most impressive tour.

For my part I had had much to tell her about my life my wife my family of 2 sons their wives and their 4 children in total, and if anything I would have to admit to my mouth running away with me on more than one occasion, perhaps seeing myself as something of a father figure or a grandfather figure, a person who missed out by not having a daughter of his own, except of course for daughters-in-law and 2 fine grand-daughters, and not a person normally feeling in any way deprived...

So in this way I felt our friendship was strengthened and our messages only served to reinforce this view from both sides: until that is she returned to Japan, when all correspondence was soon to come to a halt, not only for me but for all 60 odd friends with whom during her travels she had been in almost daily contact with, posting stuff like: “Now I’m in Rome” following on from “ I am in Glasgow having such a good time!”, etc etc etc., and picking up many “new friends” along the route of course.

Happily my new friend regretted that of all the European countries she had visited she had omitted any visits to Scandinavia and so through the pages of Myspace where at the time I used to post pics from my holiday snaps, spaces I had shared all with my friends including Miss T, she expressed the desire to see some pics of my adoptive country because in 5 years’ time she expected to return to Europe to see more of it, when of course she said she should like to meet me again.

And in that way when her correspondence stopped it left me one last opportunity to stay in touch by writing out of turn to tell her I should post the requested pics on one or other of my Myspaces and that I should know whether she got to see them because I got hits every time someone visited myspaces (plus hits on individual pics) unless that is I were to hear from her again which I never really did.

In another blog I shall recall how our commerce continued for a time and why I choose now to talk of it as a most bizarre relationship..?
