For Val

ONE Bachelor, all alone
Calls TWO Bachelors, on the phone
THREE Bachelors at the door
Bring along another FOUR ....
...........................................
I think there's a limit to how many times one can read "Hippos" and "Goodnight Moon" before you can recite it in your sleep. I can now recite these 2 books to The Son without even opening them, not really a skill that I can be proud of, but I'm amazed that he can also give as good as he takes. We were out of the house and away from the book one day and I had just finished reciting "Hippos" to him ("THREE Hippos say Good Day! The last TWO Hippos go their way...") when he said "Wagon". There's a bright red wagon on that page in the book. He can visualise the pages! Oh my little future Harvard scholar!

Anyway, I have currently in stock THREE Eligible Bachelors. All are men of substantial and independent means, reasonably good looking and looking for A Good Woman with a view to a long-term relationship. Short-term tenants need not apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

  5. No, it's not your Leslie, Ms Never-Do-Anything-About-It-Now-It's-Way-Too-Late. I said NEVER MARRIED NO KIDS.

    The stock is all in Singapore. It may travel a little bit from time to time but it always comes back here.
