The strange temptation of girlfriends.

Not much to report really, I had an awfully quiet weekend of rest and doing lots of little things I have been putting off for an age, and it was lovely.

Today at work The Lady with the Legs appeared and we ended up going for lunch, although I am not entirely sure why. It appears she is not going to New York now for the summer, and also appears to be getting over this other chap. I don't know if anything is going to progress on that side, she is fun to go for lunch with but I don't know if we would work as a couple, which is a shame as I must admit I am tempted by the concept of girlfriends at least, if not the actual reality of them. Oh and the Virgin emailed me, supper is back on for some time next week.

In other news I had a very serious chat with my boss about P.A.s and he agreed that if work carries on like this I am going to need one, the rest of the afternoon was spent deciding on the sort of P.A. would like, it was terribly enjoyable. Pencil skirts are a must, I think a blond would be good as that means I wouldn't hit on her constantly.

Anyway, back onto the subject of girlfriends, I think it must be something in the air as I am constantly thinking of the reasons why they are fun to have around. Here is a list so far.

Picnics in the park - possible reading of books while looking at ducks.
Sunday mornings - lazy reading of news papers (Style and Business sections for me), drinking strong coffee and eating pastries.
Chasing Squealing girls around flats - possibly with water pistols.
Pet names.
Flowers - Buying surprise flowers for them for no real reason.

And a bunch of other things I can't think of right now.

In a lot of ways this really is most worrying - I have a reputation, and it really wouldn't do for me to settle down. There is a cocktail party tomorrow in Kensington so perhaps that will help me get my form back. Yes a few bracing cocktails are definitely what the doctor ordered. I blame all the fruit I have been eating recently, it isn't natural.
