It's been a lovely day. Sunshine, blue skies and shoe shopping.
I shopped the Marais. I shopped the BHV. I looked in at the Pompidou centre. I ate a hangover reducing lunch. I sat in the park at the Place des Vosges and soaked up some sun.
Walking home, there was a fool on rollerblades heading towards me.
Zigzagging in and out, generally causing mayhem, he was oblivious to the fact that everyone on the street was watching his moves. And boy did he have some moves.
After showing off to the crowd for a while longer, he started to hurtle towards me, doing that backwards skating thing that they do. As he came within a couple of feet of me, he stoppped suddenly.
He turned as he stopped and leant in to kiss me.
"Ca va mieux ce matin?" he said. It was the Italian postman. The guy who I'd had a thing with a while back. The guy who, not 12 hours ago, had been lying next to me in bed trying to find the strength to get up, get out and go home.
"Not bad", said I, fully aware that everyone was watching. My hangover had lifted, but I was still hiding behind my big sunglasses.
"See you tonight" he said. He kissed me again and skated off through a quickly parting crowd towards Bastille.
"Erm, maybe..." I said, to no-one in particular.
How do I get out of that?
Do I want to get out of that?

Aaah, so beautiful and funny! You really make me smile :) ...and you have no idea how much it means to me, this smile.
Keep enjoying life!
Why would you want to get out of that!
Ahh! Skater boy!
Darlin - go with the flow. Strap on your skates and glide.....
sk8r boi? Sounds more like rollar blade boy. yes I did definately go through a rollarblading phase-never again.
I think he likes you travelling! Did he have a croissant in his pocket or was he just happy to see you? ;D
btw, did you get any shoes?
Magdalena, i intend to keep enjoying it! You keep on smiling too...
Anonyme, I'm not sure...I don't think I do
Aims, Skater Boy was the night before - this one is rollerblade boy. Blades of glory, he he....
Poser, they are two different people - skater boy and rollerblade boy (aka il postino, the postman, the italian...). I know, I'm also confused....
And yes, I bought shoes. Lovely Camper shoes. Too expensive, but hey...
I wouldnt say no to a gift horse
Wow! Why on EARTH would you want to get out of that? Unless you have someone else lined up of course......!!
LOL! My word verification is matingst. How very apt.
I wasn't confused until I read that. Now I'm confused!
Explain?
Poser, well this is how it is. Thursday night was the Skater Boy (see you later boy). Friday night was the rollerblade boy (also known as il postino because he's an italian postman).
I think what is possibly confusing you is the general sluttiness of this behaviour. For that I can only apologise. hehe
You can always not answer the phone .. OTOH ..he sounds alot of fun .. and clearly he is interested .. oh fickle boy enjoy yourself ..
Na don't apologise. Live life cos it's short. (Good excuse to shag around I'd say. ;D)
It makes more sense now. Ta darlin.
Sounds like Spring is in the air over there !
Frankly me dear, why do you want to get out of that?
your day sounds divine. and those shoes are rather fetching too.
If course you want some ....
D, fickle? moi? I don't know what you mean...!
Poser, glad to have cleared it up for you...
KP - spring has sprung sir! truly...
Sweary - i gave in, he he
Red, they are. and so comfortable...I love Camper shoes....
Antonio, I do. You're right. What can I say?
I woke up after a big night a while ago and said "I had the stangest dream that I found roller blades on my way home from the pub last night". Then I saw the bruises all over me and the roller blades on the floor and remembered roller blading around the lounge room. I am not a very good roller blader. Although to be fair, I haven't tried it when not completely sozzled so I might be excellent when sober.
You shouldn't want to get out of that! You said it yourself, he's got moves! ;)
12oti - you worry me. sometimes. But you also make me laugh. So that's a good thing...
Marjolein, I gave in and saw him again. he's got some moves, it's true!
