Success

My lunch date with Meryl was thoroughly entertaining. She was already seated by the window of the cafe when I arrived and welcomed me in with a large smile and a hug. A lovely warm woman, she spent the whole two hours we were together regaling me with tales from her career as a model. As it turns out she spent much of it modelling clothing in Sunday newspaper supplements. And before you suggest, no she wasn't half naked, she showed me some rather entertaining photos of her sporting stretchy trousers and comfy shoes. The best modelling shot was of her reclining in a false living room set up whilst clad in a blanket with sleeves. It seems she found her niche in the 'comfort market' and she was quite happy with that. She was keen to hear about my hobbies and interests and even suggested joining me for a show on hospital radio. Everything was so easy, it flowed without any effort and she complemented me on my choice of casual wear. We have agreed to meet again, it's as friends I'm sure, although I wouldn't say 'no' to something more.
