One morning some 20 years ago,my uncle who was Company Chairman and MD,appeared in the door of my office.I had just secured a substantial contract for the firm after a very tough battle but my personal life was in turmoil.He dropped 2 envelopes on my desk.One contained hotel and travel documents and the other ,a few thousand Drachmas,My sister also appeared with my travel bag.
"The flight leaves from Stanstead at 1.30pm" he said "take a few days break you miserable sod, you're drained "
I found myself later that evening, installed in a very nice hotel in Rhodes Town.
After a meal,I had a couple of drinks in the bar and exchanged a few words with a woman perched on a stool, with what looked like Kew Gardens in a tall glass.It transpired she was a bit of an air-head ,so I bade her goodnight and retired to bed.
I discovered after a day or so,that the lady in question was self-deluding in imagining that all the men were drooling over her.
I'm afaid I'm often unable to read messages sent to me or reply to them so please catch me in the chat rooms .Thanks .Now on with my flight of fancy !
