How I met Slide
I didn’t expect to find somebody whom I got on with so well on the other side of the world – but I did! I had the most lovely evening walking and talking to him and it really made me feel better.

How I met a tempest in her eyes
Aphie is wonderfully intelligent and great to talk to. I felt very comfortable meeting Aphie and we didn’t stop talking for over three hours. The topics of conversation were so diverse and interesting, anything from lessons on Australian geography to 19th century prostitutes, pirates and cannibalism. I didn’t think a hot twenty something year old woman from Australia would want to talk to an old git like me but we had a great time. We walked for miles and had coffee in Brick Lane before I showed Aphie the offices where I work and the fantastic views of the Thames and Tower Bridge. I hope Aphie enjoyed our evening as much as I did and don’t think I was too much of a nutter. I even managed to dribble hot chocolate down the front of my shirt. It wasn’t a dribbling, dirty old man thing. Honest! I just missed my mouth…don’t say anything!
Why I want to meet a tempest in her eyes
Because Aphie comes from a place called Wollongong (how cool is that?) and has great ears and a cheeky Aphie elfish grin. (hehehe)
