Past tense

So my first lover, Wlodek S, has got in touch last week, after all these years. Here is the string of mails that followed:
Beautiful but Grumpy: Hi. Good to hear from you but... where are your long hair??I’m very well, thanks. Since that summer after my A levels I have moved to London and being living here all this time. I don’t think my mother has ever forgiven you for my ‘B’ from literature :-) Well, at least I managed an ‘A’ from biology ;-) Do you still live in the same town?


Wlodek S: Don’t look at hair - look at the heart :-) It’s funny, I also live in London. 10 years now. How small is this world :-) Maybe we have passed each other on the street few times...
Looking at your photos – you haven’t changed much.I can see you’ve attracted a local lad ;-)
The warmest greetings for you M.
BbG: If you hang around Brick Lane or at races of one-eyed dogs, then I’m sure we have met at some point during those 10 years! Oh, the ‘lad’ is an ex boyfriend – I should really delete these pics but I like them - taken from sailing holidays in Turkey. Great fun. And you – there must be a ‘reason’ for you to stay in London for so long...
Wlodek S: Well, I’ve been married for 4 years. Why asking? ;-) Your sailing pics are hot :-) especially the one in bikini ;-)
BbG: Thanks :-) Oh, I’m asking because on all of your pics you are caressing some fish, so just wanted to check if you haven’t developed an unusual attraction... :-)
Wlodek S: Ha, ha. I kind of developed an obsession with fishing
BbG: Obsessions are good – they make you feel alive. You look professional :-)
Wlodek S: I wish – to do it professionally i would need rich sponsors :-) My job is down to earth – i’m a store manager. I’ve tried few things but they bored me.
BbG: Oh yeah? What have you tried? I’m asking because I’m fascinated by different things that people try (I’m thinking of making a film but that’s a totally different story).
Wlodek S: I started with washing dishes in a restaurant :-), then I was a gardener, then a chef... If you need extras for your film let me know - I’ll be happy to help :-)


Aah, isn’t he lovely? Yes, but also very married...

A professional fisherman based in Marylebone?

Now that's an interesting juxtaposition of place and plaice.

That's what I thought Womabat but wanted to stroke his ego :-)

Hey Chanel Girl. Now looking at this again, i'm not sure he is such a nice guy - he commented on my pics way too flirtatiously for a married guy. And he is lacking in a humour department I think :-)

So he is married. You got some issues whit that?! " Ojos que no ven corazon que no siente ?" :-P

I am married and some times I have said to some friends that they look hot.
On the other hand, we should see if he is talking to you behind the back he's wife or not.

There's a witty comment to be written linking Wlodek abd Plenty More Fish Out od Water. But I can't think of one right at the moment.

Hola L&L! It's not a problem if he and his wife want to have fun with me and my partner. But I would need that partner first. And Wlodek already has a partner...
Gracias por tu comentario hombre hermoso! :-)

Hey Ian. I'm intrigued! Let me know...
