“You’ve reached your destination” chirped Sanav Sally.
I needed to make an impression on Imogen, it was our first date.
Five stars on Tripadvisor. Perfect for a romantic evening said one commenter.
Oh dear, what a mess!
“It’s rather scruffy,” said Imogen.
“Shabby chic” I replied.
“It’s falling apart”.
“It’s bohemian”.
“‘Everything’s wet, no wonder it’s called The Watering Hole!”
“Very funny!” I said.
Imogen pointed at the sign. Oh no, she was right. We were supposed to be at The Love Nest.
I tried blaming it on Satnav Sally. “She’s jealous,” I said, “wants me all to herself”.
That was it. Date over!

Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Dale for the picture.

Dear Keith,
Not exactly the ideal date, was it? Funny and always love your frogs.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Not quite what he hoped for! Thanks, Rochelle.
Never trust Sat Nav Sally, look like the day was a damp squid.
Too right James! Cheers.
Oh, that was good!
Thank you, Martha.
My sister and I were in Windsor, Canada and Sally kept telling us to turn right. We would have ended up in the Detroit River! Yikes!
That was quite a diversion. I’m sure they do it for a laugh!
Lol, those Satnav’s always get us into deep water! Good one, Keith!
This one certainly did! Cheers Mason.
Sure did. You’re welcome.
Love this story.
I’m pleased, thanks Sadje!
You’re welcome 😉
You can weave a tale very nicely. You made me smile. I think I dated that guy back in the day. It didn’t work out for me either.
Have a fabulous day, Keith. 🙂
You too? Cheers, Sandee.
Well, if Imogen can’t see the funny side of it, maybe she’s not worth worrying about! Fun as always Keith 🙂
Exactly, hardly his fault poor chap!
He needs to trade Satnav Sally in for a new model!
I agree, I’d recommend Savvy Suzie! Thanks, Elizabeth.
Some folk are never happy! 😉 Lucky escape for him there. She has no sense of humour. Another fun story, Keith.
I agree, it was hardly his fault! Better to find out on the first date than further down the line. Thanks Jenne.
What’s so hard to believe about a possessive car?!
Absolutely! Cheers Dora.
Lol. This was a fun read, Keith. Poor guy. So much for impressing Imogen. I was impressed, though, by his quick responses to her observations of the place.
He tried, not that it helped! Thanks so much.
Brilliant Keith.
Thanks, Di.
That was really fun. I loved it!
I’m pleased! Thanks, Brenda.
I’d have thought his sunny disposition and cheery jokiness would have won her over, well its her loss.
Too right, they are not exactly an ideal match!
Imogen was too uptight and probably high maintenance. He dodged the bullet.lol
Absolutely right, saved by the satnav! Thanks, Susan.
Sometimes even the best-laid plans go awry. 🌷 I’m guessing it was meant to be.
…or meant NOT to be! Cheers.
If your senses of humor don’t match, it’s for the best anyway.
Fun and frumpy just don’t go together!
Cute one, Keith! There’s a movie out there where the AI in the guy’s phone gets jealous like that. Very funny premise but I’m sure this will one day be reality.
I like the sound of that! I’m sure you are right but hope you’re not!
🙂
The frogs say it all … there’d be no kissin’ and no prince charming … 😉
Ribbet to that! Cheers, Na’ama.
Ribbet-ribbet … 😉
I’d say it rained on your parade, right?
Putting it mildly I’d say!
She must have been so angry as she walked out.
Date over pretty fast!
That was the plan, right? 🙂
I left that for the reader to interpret! But, yes, she certainly was! Thanks, Anita.
Tsk, that Imogen, actually expecting a nice place and dry feet on her date. If that’s called high-maintenance I don’t know what would be considered easy-going. I gues the nav simply didn’t like her. Fun story, Keith.
It doesn’t do to upset a sat nav, that’s for sure! Thanks so much.
mistakes do happen. you just have to make do when they do. 🙂
You always have the most interesting takes ont eh challenge, Keith.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Be Safe 😷 … Isadora 😎
That’s so kind of you Isadora, thank you. Do look after yourself.
I’m thinking things worked out for him in the end because she doesn’t seem the “go with the flow” type…
That about sums her up Dale!
Give Satnav Sally a try. I hear she’s a great conversationalist. “Turn left here.”
I once had a GPS tell me to turn onto the freeway offramp. I think it was trying to kill me.
I might just try that, it’ll make a change from chatting with Alexa! I hope you gave your GPS a good telling off!
I’m scared to get on it’s bad side.
(Giggles) That’s what always happens to me when I use the satnav. Mind you, it’s never cost me a date! On the other hand, there was that time my car was rammed by another one turning illegally across me at traffic lights. The young man driving it pleaded the satnav told him to do it…it was actually quite a funny incident, because he didn’t get out of his car, so I went across and he was slumped over the steering wheel. “Are you alright?” I asked. “Yeah, but I’m just having a really terrible day,” he said. “And I borrowed the car from my sister…”
Bless his cotton socks! I felt like giving him a cuddle as though I was his mum!
Thanks for sharing this lovely story! I wonder if his sister was as sympathetic as you.
Oh boy, he blew that big time! Ah, first dates… 🙂
It really wasn’t meant to be! Cheers Ali.
Ha! Ha! Satnav Sally probably figured Imogen right, a lucky escape I would say.
I quite agree! Cheers subroto.
Shame about the date but it sounds like she didn’t have much of a sense of humour
I think you’re right Michael! Cheers.
Nicely done
