Que sera sera... Whatever will be, will be

Goodness! Don't you just get puzzled by all the names in this blog? Coz I do.


Just to prove the heights of my surreal life, let me tell you about today.
The glorious sunny and warm morning began, after meditation, with a visit to the Town Hall, to renew my parking permit for another year. I decided to dress up and wear platform shoes, just in case the day progressed onto further ventures. And boy did it just!  
After, came a quick lunch at Electric in Notting Hill, with Ernest, accompanied by his warm friend Kyli; visiting London, who sweetly asked me to get in touch if I ever made my way to Sydney. A place I have always considered too far to travel to unless I had some good excuse to get there.  Dancing at the Nammos beach in Mykonos, I also met three fun girls and guys from this city.  Tiny world.


Next was, buying paint with my Girl and planning our travel next week exciting me to be spending time together, visiting family. She is God's absolute blessing to me.
I dropped off the fruit shopping at Portobello Market home and decided to take a bus to Soho.  


Who was I meeting in Soho but the adorable, svelte, gentle-mannered Lior; whom we met two months previously at a first birthday party where Rory had introduced us. On that day, Lior's kind look got me talking to him endlessly about being retained at a deserted airport in Ovda.  I was so glad to have contacted him earlier this week and his spontaneous invitation to accompany him and his visiting friend Fausto for drinks was accepted with pleasure. He had texted:
'Haldita, I want you to meet my lovely friend Fausto, he's almost as mad as you. Can you do 6-8 today in Soho?'
I wrote: 'Perfect. Yes. Where?'


That is how the evening began at a great outdoor bar in Soho with Lior and Fausto; a gorgeous Latino, with strong features and the most hearwarming smile. It felt as though I had known the boys for ages, our connection was so pure and loving. Lior had to leave and I was left with Fausto then joined by his flamboyant artist friend; Aldo.  As we got better acquainted, the couple next to us; the Brazilian girl with her French partner, also visiting this magnificent city from Nantes made an ensemble to converse further over dinner at Randall & Aubin's. We all got chatting happily until after our meal, the couple had a major argument, the French boyfriend through cash and a card for their hotel room on the table in front of the Brazilian girl and disappeared. The chica abandoned us in a black cab after her man and Fausto, Aldo and I left the restaurant puzzled at their strange reaction! In any case, it was a bizarre night with me leaving in very high spirits after having made such super new friends.  
And I thought it was gonna be a quiet night at home! How wonderful.


Still so much to reminisce about my trip to Mykonos but it was a special day I wanted to have in writing.
