Free ticks

Hello Possums. Have you seen ‘Talk to Me’ yet? Its the best movie I have seen for ages. The dialogue is wonderful and the cinematography is really clever. On top of this, its a great story (and its true!). I laughed (a lot) and cried (in two places). The main actor is to die for and all of the other characters are played to perfection. The sound track is magnificent. Need I say more?

I had free tickets through my MTC subscription and took V along. She adored it too. Afterwards we went to her favorite Vietnamese restaurant on Victoria Street, were she knows the proprieters. There we drank three pots of Chinese tea and talked about her current love interest whilst we feasted upon rice paper rolls with peking duck, crispy chicken ribs and stir fried spinach.

V is a polo fan. I have never seen polo played live before. Her current love interest is one of the players who has been flirting with her from afar for at least six months. She has been in a state of excited suspense. Last week she received an invitation to a polo club luncheon out at one of the vinyards. She had invited me to accompany her but was yet to book the tickets.

Last night she deliberated as to whether she had the guts to go. “There are only twelve places for the dinner”, she exclaimed, “and I’m not even a member of the club!”. She was intrigued as to why she had received the invitation. “What if he’s there! I won’t be able to hide if there are only twelve of us!”. She was really nervous. “Don’t worry”, I said, “I’ll be there to support you. You won’t need to hide”. This afternoon I received a text from her: “We are on for the wine trip. Now I am really in trouble huh?” I texted back, “yeah”. I’ll let you know how it goes, Possums. Its in March.
