Ulri and I, ready to face our bosses at the leaving dinner they are holding for her.

Just want to make myself a quick reminder. On the way home from work I was cycling along the seafront and I recognised a male body that I hadn't seen in17 years. It was Fash, also know as Flash in his hey day, as he is a black belt karate expert. Fashid is a very very shy Iranian guy who I met and liked when I was just 14. He was 21 but his naivity made the age gap small.
Any way, I wondered if I should stop or carry on. The old me would have carried on but instead I breaked and waited for him to come near enough to say hello. When I did, he looked at me strangely. So I took off my helmet and sunnies and then he remembered! We talked for awhile. It was good to catch up. He is such a sweet guy, but now at 40 and still living with his parents I feel that he will never meet a girl....and he would be a wonderful person to be with. Very caring and sensitive. I tried to tell him this. He needs someone to build up his confidence, but I fear it won't happen. I have never met someone so, so shy. It's a shame really. He deserves to be happy.

Anyway, I am glad I stopped and said hi. I think I made his day and for some reason it made mine....which is why I wanted to record it before I forgot.
