Left Paignton on my way to Newquay. But yesterday's impromptu trip to Dawlish left me without enough charge to get to Penhale (the nearest charger to Newquay) with enough margin for me to feel comfortable.

So I'm at the Tesla Service centre charging the car.

On my way back from the Celtic Lounge I was walking along The Old Tramway when I inadvertently stepped in front of a man on a bicycle. I apologized, he said I needn't apologize. We chatted for a while, he asked my name and where I was from and when I said Nina he immediately said 99 Red Balloons, and commented on that Nina's hairy armpits. He asked about mine so I showed him that they are mostly smooth.

He complimented me on how good I looked and that we are probably about the same age. He was surprised and even more complimentary when I said I was 68, soon 69, and he said he was 61. He went on to say he was from Hackney but had been living in Newquay for eighteen years and loved it.

He suggested that I go with him into town and that he'd buy me a drink. I think I might have said yes except for a remark he made earlier in the conversation about fancying making me pregnant. When he said that I was amused but coupled with the offer to buy me a drink made me think that perhaps he was serious so I turned down the drink in order to not have to turn him down later because I didn't really fancy him. He took that with a smile and we parted.
