I&#8217;ve had a lovely day, editing three promos for KUMARS ON 42nd STREET, and two for THE PRACTICE, with Anne, the SABC3 intern. Jacqui&#8217;s had a grueling day training a client in the software her company develops. <\/p>\n<p>Damon and I are supposed to be meeting for our regular screenwriting session, but he&#8217;s busy shooting a documentary for the United Nations. They&#8217;re putting him up at the Balalaika Hotel, which is just next door. We&#8217;ve discussed the possibility of having a drink together anyway. So I can see him AND Jacqui in one night. Neat! <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left;\" alt=\"If you're into noses, this one's as kinky as they get.\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mysite.mweb.co.za\/residents\/rb000004\/web_14aug03b.gif?resize=248%2C268\" border=\"2\" height=\"268\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" width=\"248\" \/>When Jacqui&#8217;s in the room, the babe count rises to five stars without hesitation. Yay!!! She&#8217;s looking gorgeous tonight. And I love the fact that I&#8217;m in love with a gorgeous woman. &#8220;Hullo my Love-Buckle!&#8221; she says to me. That&#8217;s the term of endearment that seems to be working for her right now. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you ready to order yet?&#8221; says Precious.       <\/p>\n<p>I opt for the Copioso &#8212; a yummy artichoke, olive, sundried tomato, and avo pasta dish. Absolutely wildly recommendable. Jacqui goes for the grilled veggies. Ultra yummy. <\/p>\n<p>She has flatly rejected &#8216;Cunni-Bunny&#8217; as my contribution to naming her. I&#8217;m working on it. I figure we&#8217;ve got a good few decades to crack it. So I&#8217;m in no rush. Hmm. I wonder if I should try &#8216;Cunni-Suckle&#8217; out on her? Probably not. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got just two sleeps left before we take a long weekend together. We&#8217;re heading for Quiet Mountain, one of the most delectable hideaways I&#8217;ve been to. It&#8217;s in the Magaliesberg, and we both need a rest. And we aim to spend many hours relaxing in each others&#8217; arms. Finding appropriate pet names for each other. Through trial and error. <\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
