Have I really not posted anything for one and a half years?

In the last couple of months I have been to New York to see a new show written by Benny and Bjorn from ABBA called Kristina. If you like musicals ( as I do) and if you like Benny and Bjorn (as I do) then you will love Kristina (as I do). Check-out some of the clips on YouTube. I stayed at The Greenwich Hotel on Greenwich Street. what a hotel! What a location! I recommend it.

I went to a friend's 50th birthday last night. Great party. It was fancy dress and the theme was "Anything German." I went as Cardinal Ratzinger, the current Pope.

I got chatting to a guy there, a barrister. Stunning looking, incredibly sexy. Straight, of course. Why do I go for straight guys? I didn't drink all night at the party.

Heading into Soho in 10 minutes to meet a friend for coffee. Its a beautifully sunny day. Make the most of it. Could be the last one before next May.

Been looking at the "commercial" section on GAYDAR recently. There's a lot of commerce out there!

I have had a quiet'ish weekend. I was so busy last week that by Friday night, with my housemate and ex-boyfriend, I wanted a quiet night and I was in bed by 10.30.
Saturday I had breakfast in Belsize Park followed by a 30 minute run at the gym.
In the evening I went to my local Italian in Bermondsey with the housemate then returned home to watch "I'd Do Anything." God that programme is awful. John Barrowman does nothing for me. I saw him at a hotel in the south of Spain a few years back and he seemed full of self-importance. That's the last time I watch that programme.
I am going to An Exhibition of Colombian Photography on Wednesday. I am giving my spare invite to a Colombian guy I know (seems apt).
Sunday I went to The Photographers' Gallery to buy some magazines.
I am currently listening to "Elaine Paige on Sunday" on the BBC iPlayer. It's fantastic! You can listen or watch any BBC radio or TV programme whenever you like. Today Elaine is talking to Tim Rice. C'mon what a double-act. They ar playing music from some of his shows.
But wait for this. Next week's guest is Liza Minnelli!!
OK who said I'm gay?

Colliseum and The Steam Room

I went to see Sylvie Guillem last night at The London Colliseum.
It was great. I have seen her several times before.
Carlos Acosta was in the audience. So was Lord (John) Birt. I think he has something wrong with his feet. (There is something afoot with his feet). He wore trainers and was shuffling everywhere; but he is only in his 50's I think.
Afterwards I went to a private members club for drinks. I had a diet Coke. I don't drink alcohol. I used to but I don't anymore.
I think I am developing a serious-ish crush on F. I have been thinking about him all morning. I want to share a bed with him, hold him and kiss him.
In the past all I have wanted, (or maybe been able to want), is anonymous sex. Now I want to hold and kiss somene. WEIRD!!!
I didn't get to the gym yesterday. I hope to go today. I need to do a 30 minute run, and then have a bit of R&R in the steam room. Being in a steam room is good. Its good for the circulation, the skin and I get to see naked men. I am a voyeur. I am also an exhibitionist. A steam room is perfect for me.

Dinner last night

I am 48, gay, chartered accountant living in London. This is my first-ever blog.
I will soon set up my profile so that you can get a beter picture of me.
Last night I went for dinner with a friend F. He's gay, 40 and very attractive. We met at the gym where we had "messed around" in the steam room and showers. We are sexually attracted to each other.
Sexually we are both passive only, so nothing is ever going to happen between us on a permanent basis, but I want to share a bed with him.
I live with an ex of many years ago, and he is going away on Monday for 4 nights. I am going to invite F to stop over in the spare room.
We chatted last night about relationships and feelings. Thats a FIRST for me.
In my family we do not communicate. Feelings are not recognised. I have never before discussed anything as important as feelings. I felt lovely when I came home.
I am not very good emotionally. For several weeks now I have been considering paying for sex. It is occupying a lot of my time, just thinkung about it.
