I really thought this one was gonna be the one I would tell our grandkids about. ‘Tell us the story again Granny’ they would say ‘Tell us about how you kissed inside a tree’…. I had been on a bit of a dry spell date wise, we all know how hard it is out there,…

By 4pm I admitted defeat and sheepishly presented myself in front of L’s desk to tell her I had to cancel on her mate cause I was simply too hungover. “Aww no Ari, he was really looking forward to meeting you” she said sulkily “I know, I know, I’m sorry, I feel awful, I’ll see…

I opened one eye and felt a searing pain across my temple. Boom, boom, boom … I shit you not I could hear the sound of my own ear drum. What the hell was going on ? In nanoseconds my mind scrambled through the Filofax of my brain. Turning off my work computer. Heading for…
