Catching Up and Down

So... what is this BIG texting thingie with the Kangaroo that I go on about? Here goes.

Preface: He sent apologetic and rather sweet although friendly email cancelleing our date on Wednesday which I didn´t reply to. He said he would call me when he was back from France "to catch up".

Situation: Spinster with friends sitting in sun on Saturday pm in wonderful pub where we went for our first date.

Spinster texts: Shame we missed eachother on wed. In the sun in ladbroke arms. hope france is fab.x

Kangaroo answers (20 min later): Me too ;-( the sun is shining on the rugby gods in france so all is good. what does the weekend hold for you?

Spinster answers (50 min later): Sex drugs and rocknroll of course ;-). Good chilled we w friends. Looking forward to seeing you when yourre back. x.

Kangaroo answers (50 min later): I look forward to catching up with my puss in boots soon!

Spinster, very pleased, answers (1 hour and 15 min later). She will keep them sparkling. Puss.

Yep, very nonsense texting really (not sure what the f**k I meant with sparkling, but wasn´t entirely sober at that point..). But nice, I like it when he says MY puss in boots. And also, Puss in boots is rather clever of him I must say. And it was sent at 8 in the evening so hopefully he wasn´t too wasted...

Should probably have left it there but felt a strong urge to contact him on Sunday morning so sent off a text to him around noon: "I think you better be home soon". Which is a half-joke of course. We listened to this super-old tune from the Crowded House together last time we met. And they are Australian of course. And for those of you who know the lyrics, this is a strong love-song including lines as "And I know I am right for the first time in my life..." etc. Hence, could easily be interpreted as quite ... forward.

Kangaroo answers (within THREE minutes, seriously thought something was wrong with the phone): "Why :-)"

Which is bloody cheeky answer and I felt like writing to him "because you are a cheeky silly kangaroo who needs a good spank on his pale bum". But I didn´t.. I waited an hour and then wrote "Because my bed is burning". Hence, still playing on the Aussie-lyrics theme. And again he answered very quickly: "Lucky me ;-)". And I finalized and ditched in "Yes, you should be so lucky, lucky, lucky", thinking I was probably the most witty person in the world giving in another aussie-lyrics (Kylie).

Then I happen to know that the Australian game started 1 minute later (yep, Spinster is currently keeping incredibly close track of the games in the Rugby World Cup) and I didn´t hear anything else from him. They won big and secured their place in the quarter-finals, but I decided not to congratulate him for it. Will lay low for a while now.

I think he better be home soon. An be lucky in my burning bed.
