Dafodils & Hot Guys

A nice thing happened on my way to my fitness class 

earlier this morning

where I was going to weigh in.

I was expecting the worse 

having over indulged

while I was away last week.

A local mad woman 

she is mad - bonkers in fact

was approaching me

holding a bunch of daffodils.

I could plainly see that she had picked them from some one's garden

as they were open & not wrapped buds.

I said,

" hello

and she answered,

" You look pretty "

which made my day.

I added,

" Nice Flowers..."

& she replied,

" I nicked them "

I said,

" I thought so "

and started giggling all the way down the road.

She'd blatantly nicked them from my friend's garden

who will be furious when she notices.

Anyway, I digress,

I was going to talk about the hot guys in Aussie soaps.

I've always been a fan of Neighbours,

but recently started to follow

Home and Away.

One of the characters, Liam

is an ex drug addicted lead singer of a band

who in true soap style

is now clean from drugs & booze, a music teacher at the high school

with beautiful girlfriend

who chose him over an Italian Prince.

I see that also in true Aussie soap style

"Liam"

actor Axle Whitehead

is about to release a single in the States.

There is a story line at the moment

involving three

" River Boys "

Brothers;

"Brax"

Heath

and Casey.

I was telling Jess about yesterday's episode

when I stopped & giggled

and said,

"Not that I'm addicted to Aussie soaps of course !"

My mum used to get exasperated

when all my nieces talked about was Eastenders.

She made some comment or other

and one of my nieces looked at her and said

" It is real life Granny "

ummm

And my link between daffodils & hot guys ?

 I feel there should be a link

so I'm not simply rambling.

Every year a group of female friends & I

go on a girls' weekend away to a sports & craft centre in Devon.

We always book the first weekend in February as it's the cheapest.

Most years we coincide with a group of men on a golfing holiday.

 Now these guys are not hot by any means

but it is nice to have a group of men on the dance floor

or we girls would be left dancing round our handbags in our white court shoes

( or not ! )

One year the men watched rugby all afternoon

and for some very peculiar reason

( Wales was playng )

they were eating daffodils...

they were so ill they missed;

 supper, the Disco & breakfast the next morning !

I bet those Aussie surf dudes wouldn't be so stupid !
