Mortification.

Snow. Lots of it. Yuss! Looks like I might be having a white Christmas! Well, I can't see the snow disappearing in the next few days, so it's quite likely. Even though I'm the modern-day Scrooge. Well someone has to be! Though, I have a big smile on my face now (: It's just nothing to do with Christmas or anything like that.

Must tell you about something that happened last night. My friend in Australia thought it was the funniest thing I said when I got home this morning, but I wasn't quite so entertained. Bet you're wondering what it was, now. Better tell you.

I was out at a friends 60th Birthday party, and all their children and grandchildren were there, as well as the son-in-law and his younger brother. Back at the house after the party, there were drinks and laughs and everything, and I was in the kitchen with the daughter, and son-in-law and his brother. It was all going swimmingly. Now, the birthday boy's wife knows I'm single, and she also knew that the younger brother is single. So she approached me, was speaking to me, then said "Do you know him?" about the brother. I said no, because I didn't know him. Before I knew it, I was grabbed by the hand, hauled over to him and introduced. I was scarlet. As was he. Honestly, she's as subtle as a gun. She kept telling me - in front of him - that he was such a lovely lad, and single, and was going to university, and was a lovely lad, and gorgeous, and was a lovely lad. By this time, I was facing the other direction, crouching down on the floor, trying to breathe while laughing. When I stood up, I looked at the birthday boy's daughter, and we just burst out laughing.

I have never been so mortified! But tally ho. Next thing I know, I'll be getting a text from him. Help! I know I'm single, but there's really no need for people to keep setting me up with every person they find who is single. It's really not necessary. But try telling them that! They're all at it. I didn't join that dating service, nor do I intend to!

Saints preserve us. No, I don't know where that came from either, but there you go. My story of the weekend. There were a lot of moments that were funny, but you'd really have to be there to understand why they're funny. Or at least know the people involved to know how crazy we all are - and how much worse we get when we're together!

Toodles for now. I'll write more later.
