My cousins gay, he went to London only to find out that Big Ben was a clock




You worked really hard to find Mr. Right and build a fulfilling life with him over the years. You’ve encountered and conquered so many challenges together and relish in the romance and richness of being a committed couple. You view the rewards of your partnership as great and can’t wait to share more experiences that will further enrich your relationship. That’s the vision that most happy couples report!

And still it seems to be easier to read Cinderella, or the next part of the “game of thrones” books. (A Song Of Fire and Ice as the series is actually called) so the happy couples, if I think really hard I might find just one, where harmony and partnership even has result into marriage. These two have worked hard on their house and home and finding a way to combine their work into one business, to have something in common and of course put some money somewhere but not in the tax office pockets.

Happy couples must be out there, I just wonder if things didn't change a little bit more as I deemed to believe. This while I am listening to Johan Strauss on my stereo, maybe this is setting the mood, for times long, long past. Romance is so much linked to these moments, it must have been put into my brain by movies and books I went through when I was young and the world so much different. Did it all really changed when we got the first colour TV set in the house?

The time for summer is here, the fact that the weather outside isn't helping to the side, so most of the people go on holiday. Groups of friends head out to warm places, and who blames them. Family and friends are starting to pack as their dates are drawing closer. Sigh, my holiday is still a good 2 months away, and next to the yearning for a beach and some Spanish food, there is also the feeling that I would like to spend it with someone, to be able to cuddle and put my head in his lap, and dream away to even further places. My head will be on my towel on the sand, and I think I will still dream of more far away places. Its my nature, to daydream and dream a little more at night.

Not so different from other people I think, but from time to time I also feel this empty spot next to me. Only to “not”miss it when I want to sleep late, not do a thing on a Saturday if I do not feel like it, and in some cases not to participate in almost the planned couples life of being out and about. Seen and being seen, where I sometimes just want to see and not being heard. So much in life becomes dictated by the masses, what we do on a weekend, a long weekend, the more I do my “own” thing I noticed that almost all of them, have their routine, not noticeable but its there. We are taking a few things to much for being normal. Coming from a point that normal seems to be dictated into our brains somewhere. So when a young friend starts a relationship, I wonder, are you truly in it, or is it because, you know because? Love, a partner, partnership, it should follow a path, something we see all around us, we try to make one our own. The basic lines are set, and of we go, on our cruise, through “happy-happy-la-la-land”, the guide book mentions a few obstacles, but we took travel insurance.

Hmmmm, what did we pick, the prince, for he is charming and beautiful, or the horse? (sorry prince and Bentley is still to new) who guarantees actually a good ride, in my line of thinking the horse, so what to do with the prince? Lets keep him on till we get a little bit more bored or fed up with his nagging and his armour all over the house, which you have to polish as well. Don’t get me wrong here, I know there are marriages where things are different and they run as perfect as two people can manage, still I think that requires a better look at each other before we fall in each others arm, look in each others eye and think; damn these are as blue as my china from Holland. The things we think are planned for us, or karma, what ever we want to call it, it almost needs planning too, falling in love should be taught, but would we than not miss the funny moments we later can call mistakes, but made us feel great at the time. To love someone for all the right reasons, and years later still show a little smile remembering it. In all its a careful dance, and I am glad some people wrote the right music for it. Safely behind my pc, I see the dark clouds gather outside and know rain will come, so not working in the garden this morning was something clever.

This is going to be a inside house thing day, while the waltzes play and I dance with my hoover through the house. All good things, it gives me joy, a work out and the house gets clean too..... no rules no expectations for a day. Just trying not to fall over one or two pieces of furniture.... and my prince? Well just as Big Ben, he is out there, but just not what I expect to find......
