First date went well. It was kinda tough to make conversation but the kiss at the end was fun. Dunno if he’ll want to see me again but I’m willing to try.

We're having pizza but without a party, got flu so had to cancel other plans.

I hope your party will be nice though!

Still have a horrible cold but that won't stop me from going to the pub to watch England vs Wales in the rugby (6 Nations).
