Ok so this is weird. Last post I mentioned how i would be looking at the bus driver and everyone else, right? Well yesterday afternoon I got the bus home from doing some shopping, and I was the only person on board. About halfway home, the bus broke down. The driver called the depot and they said they were sending another bus, but it would be about 45 minutes before it arrived (he relayed all this back to me).
I was too far from home to walk the rest of the way with my shopping bags, and not in any great hurry as the kids weren't due home for another couple of hours. So I was ready to just sit there for a bit and listen to some stuff on my ipod. So far so normal.
Then, the driver gets out of his cab, and says to me that there's a cafe 20 feet from where we're stopped, and would I like to join him for a coffee while we wait. I said sure, why not, its more comfortable than the bus.
So we went for coffee together. And we chatted for a good hour (the replacement bus was late). His name is Bill and he is actually really a nice guy. Pretty good looking, and genuinely funny and nice to talk to.
When the replacement bus arrived bringing a mechanic to fix bills bus, and to take me onward on my journey, I was quite reluctant to leave, I was having a good time. And then Bill, as if reading my mind, said he was having a good time chatting with me, and perhaps we could continue the conversation over a drink one evening later in the week. So now I have a date!
Is this the work of the spell? I mean, it's really early days, but heck, this is the first date I've had in a very very long time, and I didn't have to do anything to get it - it all fell into my lap. Wow, it's all quite weird. But good weird!
I shall keep you posted!
