The Gorgeous Mr Zane

About The Author

Introduction

Granted, you may think of me as shallow. But at least, I have my thoughts to keep me company on the long and cold winter nights, which are approaching fast. I have cool memories and even cooler memories in the distant past. I channel them on a daily basis to give my days greater meaning and depth, if not for clarity and purpose.

So why do I wander with my thoughts that are much of a muchness? These days, I enjoy a more solitary existence with snippets of action. I’ve always tried to live by and maintain the private and public arenas I live in. I have independence to shut my door and yet remain absorbed with my own thoughts. Is this a bad thing? Why not, for this allows one’s mind to be creative.

Another snapshot in time. The cooking and the somewhat mundane tasks of everyday life fall short of what I really aspire to. The cookery leaves me yearning to be a chef or to have the fixtures and fittings that come with housekeeping. And the desire to be a seamstress and make the furniture covers I chose rather nice material for, in anticipation of the room I long to decorate again.

However, I do not live completely in solitude, as I now share my home with one in a long line of dogs, a shih-tzu called Biscuit, who is just one year old. Quite endearing, really, and we seem to get along famously. Biscuit is always there, even when I’m on the toilet. Quite a relishing prospect for you, I’m sure.

The Gorgeous Mr Zane

I  first encountered Mr Romeo Zane when I was seventeen years old, still fairly fresh-faced and about to leave school. He made quite an impression on me at that time. He had the presence of what I can only attribute to having totally masculine rugby features. He came over as being, to coin an old-school phrase, ‘’ard as fuck.’ This appealed to me; that, coupled with his amazing good looks. He was blond and slightly tanned. His stature was well proportioned. I would not have described him as fat or overweight. Romeo was the sort of bloke who I remember, thinking at the time, looked extremely cuddly, and I longed for him to wrap his arms around me.
