Good people, good times

My weekend in Adelaide with the boys was a great one and unexpectedly longer than planned. One of the boys picked me up shortly before midday on Saturday, the other one was still working. We went and got some lunch and then went for a couple of beers where lovely guy #2 came to meet us.

Over the weekend there was much laughing, lots of good eating, many drinks and even more laughs. You know when you meet some people who are just meant to come into your life? These two are those people. They are clearly meant to be together as well. They bounce off each other, motivate each other, nurture each other and make each other laugh, constantly.

On Sunday night I was introduced to the Mars Bar. Not the confectionery, but the bar. It was there I had a reader of this blog introduce himself. Hi mate, can you send me an email please? I also apologise for my (drunken) friends hollering out the cab window at you.

I ended up missing my flight on Monday afternoon because I was approximately 7 minutes too late for the ridiculous cut off point for check-in. If I’d paid attention to anyone or the TV show Airline, I would have known Tiger Airlines are a PR campaign for bad customer service, but alas I hadn’t. So I was booked onto the following morning’s flight, which I was notified by a phone call at 3am, was cancelled, so I eventually made it home 24 hours later than scheduled.

The silver lining on that cloud? Sure, it’s made my working week a bit busier, but I got an extra day with my lovely mates, and a day less work this week!

    Hello Aiden; I ave been a long timer reader of your blog (1+ year now), and have enjoyed it very much. A few months ago you listed another blog (The Gayest Straight guy). Last Friday his blog was removed, and I am unable to find it on the web. Do you have any idea what happened, and where or if he moved it? You may answer me or post it on your blog if you find out what happened. My email is : grwche@aol.com.

    Just for your information, I am one of the old farts you surveyed on your blog a few weeks ago. My partner and I have been together for 42 years. We celebrated our 42 years together March 28 2010. There is life after 40.

    Thank you.
