A-Z Challenge Day 2

Post 1642. Monday April 2

Rosey looked into Gareth’s eye and smiled. He smiled back and gave her a loving wink. Yes, I did say eye not eyes, because one was hidden behind a patch.

She was introducing him to us over a cappuccino at Starbucks. Apparently, Rosey was shopping in the supermarket and someone asked if she knew where the wine was. Silly question! Well, Rosey spun around, and pointed towards what she calls Alcohol Avenue and in the process poked a young man in the eye. At the time he was studying a display of reading glasses. Rather than apologise, she said she hoped they had a range of fashionable monocles!

It seems it was love at first sight. At least it was for her; it was a minute or so before Gareth managed to regain any kind of sight at all!

Gareth seems a nice guy. He’s an accountant which will no doubt please her father. He has a sense of humour which pleases us! Whether or not he’ll be on the scene for long I don’t know; Rosey’s relationships tend to be pretty short lived. I will, of course, keep you informed!

    Someone should tell Rosey it is not nice to point!

    If it lasts, it’ll be a great meeting story for their grandkids lol

      He is and he’s no idea what he’s letting himself in for! Thanks, Natasha.

    I could see why Gareth would be drawn towards Rosey. Opposites attract, don’t they? Nice one, Keith.

    Thanks for the laugh, Keith.
    I’d have to say, I love Rosey and i admire Gareth’s sense of humour.🙂 For him, it could easily be said ‘ love is almost blind’. Superb story!

    I hope Gareth realises what he is letting himself in for – he should be able to read the signs, even with one eye! Chuckling away Keith 🙂

    Thanks for the smile! I hope she’s doesn’t poke the functional one out now…

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 2, 2018 / 09:49

      Knowing Rosey, I wouldn’t be surprised if she did! Thanks, Nilanjana.

    I bet Rosey has left behind a trail of boyfriends she met when she accidentally stepped on toes, poured drinks on laps, and poked guys in the eye. Gareth might want to wear protective glasses and boots when out with her 🙂

      Haha! You don’t the half of it Emily! I’m sure Gareth wears a full suit of armour!

    Very cute–and typical of these young ones. I’m looking forward to ‘cycling’.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 2, 2018 / 15:57

      Isn’t it just! See you on the road tomorrow Jacqui!

    I like Gareth and I am hoping that he is the one for Rosey!! 😀

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 2, 2018 / 16:20

      Not sure, she can be very hard work! Great to see you back again Shilpa. I am an avid traveller as you can see from my sidebar, so your travel related theme is especially interesting to me.

    Rosey seems to be quite some ‘lady’ … and obviously used to all kinds of situations – ready with a smile, a reason etc … I look forward to seeing more of her relationship with Gareth – cheers Hilary

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 2, 2018 / 16:22

      She’s quite a piece of work as you’ll discover as the month progresses.Thanks, Hilary.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 2, 2018 / 16:30

      So far so good! You never know with Rosey. Cheers Antoinette.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 2, 2018 / 23:08

      So far so good. Will it last? I wouldn’t hold your breath! Thanks Sophie

    It seems that Gareth is a patient and understanding man. Probably perfect for Rosey!

    That was a happy read. Curious to know where will this relationship take Rosy, in life ahead!
    Thanks for visiting my blog.

      Whether it lasts or not, one thing is for sure – they’ll have fun whilst they are together

  13. Trudy's avatar Trudy April 2, 2018 / 17:27

    It’s a good thing Gareth has a sense of humor… I have a feeling he will need it if he hangs around Rosey.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 2, 2018 / 23:04

      A sense of humour is a requirement when you make friends with Rosey! Not that I’m complaining, our lives would be a lot less fun without her! Thanks, Trudy

    I’m not sure I would forgive a poke in the eye so easily! I look forward to hearing how things turn out.

      Everyone forgives Rosey for everything! She has that effect on people. Cheers!

    Looking forward to an update on Gareth and Rosey.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 2, 2018 / 22:57

      I’ll keep you updated as things progress – or not!

    A most entertaining story – I’m not familiar with the format A – Z challenge – do tell me.

    Ha! Nice story, Keith. I especially liked “love at first sight–at least for her.” 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 3, 2018 / 08:47

      I’m sure there are a few! At least, I think so. No? Mmmm.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings April 3, 2018 / 08:45

      It is about time she settled down. We are all with you on this!

    He may just last – since he’s still winking at her despite her accidental actions.

    So the eyes have it then? Fun stuff.
