Flash-Mobbing for singletons?

I had my first MSN – Meet Someone New - night last night (you know the one I told you I was setting up for myself? A fortnightly obligation to meet someone new that I must organise, come what may, every fortnight?) and I went to a book club.

Strangely, perhaps, this one was not full of women, it was full of men - four to be exact - and two women and LOTS of wine. I should state that I have been to this book club before and been very successful (And I don’t mean in getting across my thoughts on Hardy’s use of metaphor). This time, it wasn’t to be, but still, it was hugely enjoyable. My pact, after all, is to MEET someone new, not SNOG someone new every fortnight. (Read a 700-page book by a French author whose name I can’t even pronounce?! Just to get a snog? What do you take me for?!)

For the next MSN I have signed up for ‘Slet’. Slet is a new Czechoslovakian exercise movement. (As in political movement. Not physical - although it is physical - or bowel, or other...) It has been revolutionalised by some mad artists to become a flash-mob style workout, which means I shall be joining scores, perhaps hundreds, more people in their leotards to do it, some place in London, some time in the coming weeks.

Have I gone mad? Probably. But there is method in my madness. Oh yes! Be certain of that.
