Curiosity, Tennis, Football and Vuvuzelas!
June 26th, 2010 by admin
Another glorious morning and I am up early with the larks! I am very much an early bird too (!) and moreso in this weather! I am debating whether to take the weekend off and head to the seaside but am undecided as yet! The problem is I want to follow the tennis also and it’s a shame to sit indoors in such lovely weather isn’t it?
Yesterday, I had a meeting with my accountant. He’s also a very good friend of mine (no boys, not that good!) so he suggested we meet over lunch and he invited me to a private member’s club in central London which I was delighted to go to.
I had some paperwork to hand over to him and we were discussing this over drinks in the bar. I was unaware of anyone sitting around us as I was engrossed in conversation with him. At one point, I went to the Ladies and when I returned I noticed two chaps sitting next to us on the next table. They smiled at me and I smiled back (well I do like to reciprocate in everything I do………).
One of them then turned to me and said that I was very lucky as his accountant never takes him to lunch at all. I laughed and we had a bit of a banter before my accountant and I headed to the restaurant for lunch. He then confided in me that when I left, the two guys came over to him and asked him what I did and who I was! Naughty hey? To top it all he won’t tell me what he told them so I have no idea but am sure he wouldn’t have told them the truth as I didn’t get any hints of naughtiness from them!
Football – I know there are some who are fed up with the flag waving camaraderie that’s part of the World Cup but I personally welcome it. What’s wrong with people being happy and celebrating in the glory of our team? So far I haven’t seen any trouble caused by any fans I have seen on my travels and I think it’s rather entertaining to see those out and about dressed up as knights or adorning colourful headgear! I gather Boris won’t be putting up any large screens in London after all and I think that’s rather mean considering other countries and even UK cities are providing screens on masse.
Continuing on the subject of football, I had a hilarious conversation with a happy chappy the other day regarding those wonderful things called vuvuzelas! (I really wish I had one!).
I was on a roll that day and said to him “What do you call a Vuvuzela retailer?” Answer = “Vuvuzela Sella!”. I then went on to say that someone should open a store selling them as in “Vuvuzela’s R’Us.”
Let me wish you all a wonderful happy weekend. Keep smiling and enjoy the weather! I have so much more to tell you and some funny stories but I will save them for the next blog!
Love to all
