An amusing little aside to counteract the heavy posts of the last few days...
How funny, after the weekend I've had, (and yes there is still a little more to update!!) to have the following post happen!! I tell you, life is mad!
I have a gardener! Not because I'm rich or because I have a fabulous garden but because I'm a lazy cow who can't be bothered to cut the grass!! He comes every few weeks and cuts the grass front and back and keeps the hedge in order. He's good, he's cheap, and he also happens to be damn sexy!!!
I know him through a mutual friend and we have socialised altogether once, and if I'm in when he comes we usually chat for half an hour or so about random stuff. He reads a lot also and so we often talk about books we've read, ought to read etc. The last but one time he came he said he had read some great stuff, although it was a bit saucy in places, and he would drop it round.
He's very friendly, almost verging on flirty although it's hard to tell if its just friendliness, but although he is fucking lovely he is married, and I have every reason to believe happily so, so although I can't help myself but to flirt a little I wouldn't pursue it any further than that. So thats the situation.
On Sunday my mate text me to ask if I could ask him if he can do her garden for her. So the following text conversation with him ensued...
Me - Hi Sexy Gardener. How are you doing? Haven't had any saucy reads just lately :-) My mate N needs her garden doing. Her number is ...................... if you want to give her a ring.
Sexy Gardener - Hiya hun. Cheers 4 ur mates no. Will call 2mora. Will get u ya naughty reads asap. Catch ya soon. Me xxx... E.T.C...?!
Me - Cheers. What's E.T.C? My brain isn't working properly at the moment! x
The next morning...
Sexy Gardener - Mornin hun. Soz 4 late reply. Just got txt. It can mean wot ever u want it 2 & my brain never works. Xxx... E.T.C
Me - Hmmm. If I didn't know you were a happily married man I'd almost think you were flirting with me Sexy Gardener boy...!
Sexy Gardener - Sorry if I have caused u any offence. None meant. Just trying to spread some love. Me x
Me - No offence taken. Of course not. Wishful thinking maybe...? You spread as much love my way as you like :-) etc ...! x
Sexy Gardener - I'm flattered. U have made me blush. Ur 2 kind. Catch ya soon. Big luv & big etc. Me x
Me - Always a pleasure. Catch you soon. x. And bring me some books :-)
Now help me out ladies and gents.... was that flirting with me or not?!!!

That married boy wants your ass...
careful.
Did you find out what E>T>C is? i might be slow, was he meaning ecetera? (etc)
my old boss' wife left him for the gardener last month, its the gossip of my town (v high profile) - so very desperate housewives eh? my lazy gardener is 55 and brings his wife, she does all the difficult steep bits!
Did i miss the texts to DM, did he respond?
I'd say that's definitely flirting. It looks to be the friendly, safe kind of flirting that men do to keep their ego well fed. If he's good looking then I would bet his ego has a healthy appetite.
Hi Joie,
Yeah I think he was meaning etc. Can't think of anything else it could be?
Funny about the gardener situation being the gossip of your town, it must be a small place!
You didn't miss the texts to/from DM, should be coming up next...
Cheers Tobi,
Nice to have a male perspective on such things. I think you're right. What I would call play flirting.
I don't think he has a big ego, he's not traditionally good looking and I don't think he appreciates the pure sexiness of himself.
Such things are random, meaningless, but nonetheless bloody nice!
