Walking on sunshine
I’m grinning like a damn fool and I can’t get to sleep.
I had my first proper, successful date in 1 1/2 years tonight, and despite my nerves, it was absolutely wonderful.
We met before the movie for a quick (non-alcoholic) beverage, then saw Juno (which I’ve been dying to see and thoroughly enjoyed), then had another non-alcoholic beverage before he walked me to my car and we parted ways for the evening.
The entire drive home was spent with an uncontrollable grin stretching from ear to ear, and when I got home, I sent a quick message to thank him for the lovely evening and that I hoped he had a safe journey home. The next minute, we’re on the phone having a quick chat since his caffeine was preventing him from sleeping…it was meant to only go for 30 minutes, but 1 1/2 hours later, I felt so bad for how tired he would be at work tomorrow, so I “put my foot down” (as he put it) and said goodnight.
We’ve already planned our next date. Not another movie, since it prevents us from talking, so we came up with an alternative plan - a night drive to some scenic hills, with me packing a light night-time picnic 
Needless to say, I’m terribly excited and I can’t wait!
And Naridu, if you read this, THANK YOU!!! Honey, I SO owe you one!

Ellie Naridu - I know you’re in the UK, but if you come back to Melbourne, you are getting a big batch of scones from me

Hoping for a great long-term relationship then… and Juno was a great movie… my wife and I were rather shockingly delighted by it!
