My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

Falling in love hurtsIt makes us vulnerable and clouds our judgement. Give me pixie dust and distractingly pretty flowers!
One of my favourite Greek songs is an oldie called "Pio Kali h Monaxia", which means "solitude is better".
Continuing the Greek theme, there's a lovely line in Captain Correlli's Mandolin (the book). Yiannis is talking to Pelagia about her situation. It goes something like this;
"Being in love is temporary insanity. When one's insides are in turmoil and we are overcome with desire..... It's like when the trees are in blossom. But the blossom falls from the tree. Real love is what comes after being in love - like two trees that have grown together 'til their roots are entwined beneath the ground, so that one could not endure without the other..."
Now, that is worth holding out for.
