Oh no, Greeks bearing gifts!

A blind date.
Have you ever gone on a blind date? I mean totally blind, where you do not know whom you meeting apart from their name? Taking risks sometimes can also be so much fun,

for a single man, anyway. I have gone to many of those in the past, and they were all enjoyable and fun days out.

Once, I even stood on the entrance of a quite busy London tube station, Camden Town,

with a red rose and a big smile on a Valentines night. Got many funny looks that time, as I had to look every woman in the eyes, to try guess. My date came on time and introduced herself, in the end. I had never seen her before, in a photo or real life. Only knew her name. Always found it really exciting. The wondering, the heart beats near the time...

It has been about 8 years I have not done that.

After typing and reading the last sentence, I am now wondering, WTF not? Don't ask, I really don't know. All I do know is I feel it is the right time for yet another blind date!

The date
The Greek community in London has held a wine festival for many years. Well the Cypriot community, to be precise, but it's almost the same! In this years event, held on Lea Valley athletics centre, tomorrow Sunday 28th May and Monday 29th, a Greek singer called Giannis Ploutarhos, ( mother google will lead you to some lovely tunes ) is appearing as the "star" of the event. There will be wine, of course, and plenty of food. I have never been on this wine festival, and never seen Ploutarhos live, and would love to do both. Guess what? This Monday 29th May I am doing both. Very excited about this. So excited in fact, that I got 2 tickets!

T's and C's
I suppose, it would be preferred if you are a woman who likes wine (!)

, Greek music, and foreign food, unless you are Greek! And you can get a chance to meet a Greekphilosopher too! Would you like to come and why?
As a wishful thinker, if there is more that one mad woman to take this offer up, the runner up will have to wait for a few weeks...Despina Vandi is coming to town soon!

I guess it is a public enough place to meet, starts about mid day and finishes about 11 at night. Entertainment starts about 4 in the afternoon. For more details, apply within. I am even more excited now! I even know who I would like to take, but I don't think she knows! ( I don't think she knows that I know, you know? )

Are you up for a blind date?

Oops, no blind date jokes, oh no... found some wine ones though

I was told I could make ice cubes with left over wine. I am confused here. What is left over wine?

The secret for enjoying a good bottle of wine...
1 Open and allow to breathe
2 If it does not look like breathing, give it mouth to mouth.

At a wine merchant's, the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new
one to hire.
A drunkard with a ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position.
The director of the factory wondered how to send him away.
He gave him a glass to drink.
The drunk tried it and said, "It's a Muscat , three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in
steel containers.
Low grade, but acceptable."
"That's correct", said the boss.
Another glass....
"It's a Cabernet, eight years old, a south-western slope, oak barrels,
matured at 8 degrees. Requires three more years for finest results.."
"Correct."
A third glass...
''It's a pinot blanc champagne, high grade and exclusive'' calmly said the
drunk.
The director was astonished.
He winked at his secretary to suggest something.
She left the room, and came back in with a glass of urine.
The alcoholic tried it.
"It's a blonde, 26 years old, three months pregnant and if you don't give me
the job, I'll name the father."

My small grandson got lost in the new Liverpool One shopping centre the other day.
He approached a uniformed security guard and said, "I've lost my granddad!"
The guard asked, "What's his name?"
"Granddad."
The guard smiled, then asked: "What's he like?"
The little boy hesitated for a moment and then replied:
"Red wine, and women with big tits."
