So I’m trying to manage the situation gradually. I still love boyfriend number 1 enormously of course, and I don’t want to lose him, but he’s quite traditional in many ways so it’s a bit difficult. I guess you’ve been in the same position given that you say that you’ve “ ... put in strenuous work ...”.<BR/><BR/>Whoever you are <STRONG>anomymous</STRONG>, I can’t help wondering if you’re an estate agent, given that you’ve embedded a link to a property for sale in E1. That’s exactly the kind of comment I’d usually delete from an anonymous person, but leave if it’s attributable via a blogger login! Anyway, you’ve obviously been reading my blog so I decided to leave it. Actually I do agree with some of your sentiments, but co-incidently I think that my above comment to <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/profile/25433350" REL="nofollow">Miss Scarlet</A> probably explains what’s going on in my mind.<BR/><BR/>Luv+kisses, GB xxxGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07046768019709916759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-1151419321625307612006-06-27T15:42:00.000+01:002006-06-27T15:42:00.000+01:00hi...sorry this is anonymous, i only started to re...hi...<BR/><BR/>sorry this is anonymous, i only started to read this yesterday though have probably got through most of it (!), and i'll get myself a blogger login soon i think. mind if i ask a couple of questions?

I get that you are in favour of polyamory, but from your page I can't tell if your 'boyfriend number one' is aware of this - if not, do you struggle with the morality, or indeed the practicality of this? <BR/><BR/>I'm a polyamorous woman myself, but have put in strenuous work over the last few years to work things through with my primary partner, so that he is aware of, and ok with my other relationships, knowing that he won't be supplanted, and I've started journalling the way this works in my everyday life. I don't think I could cope with the multiple relationships without that blessing though, it would just be far too complicated! <BR/><BR/>I'm sure I will be back here though, not often I get to hear from other polyamorous people, of any stripe. <BR/><BR/>xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-1151386007706531302006-06-27T06:26:00.000+01:002006-06-27T06:26:00.000+01:00But all the good stuff comes up for auction at Chr...But all the good stuff comes up for auction at <A HREF="http://www.christies.com/wine_calendar/europe.asp?DID=61" REL="nofollow">Christies</A> and <A HREF="http://search.sothebys.com/jsps/live/dept/DeptGlobal.jsp?dept_id=142" REL="nofollow">Sotheby's</A> <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/profile/586039" REL="nofollow">bill</A>! Some wines definitely turn out more expensive en primer (e.g. 1997). If you ask me, the optimum time to buy is a few years after initial release, still a long time before the wines have matured and become a focus. That strategy also allows better decisions to be made because with more bottle age the true quality (or not!) is clearer.<BR/><BR/>Luv+kisses, GB xxxGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07046768019709916759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-1151362951331757872006-06-27T00:02:00.000+01:002006-06-27T00:02:00.000+01:00Horses for courses :) - 2005 seems to have been su...Horses for courses :) - 2005 seems to have been such an excellent year that I want to have a few cases of some decent wines which I will be able to keep for several years after they are landed in the UK and then sample over a period of years. The wines I'm going for will either be completely unavailable in a few years time or only at very considerably greater cost as there is likely to be huge demand, specially from the US, UK and a few other countries. For example I still have a few bottles of the 1982 vintage, bought in about 1985 - they are a rare treat now - and would probably be very difficult, or impossible, to buy now :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-1151361647402229372006-06-26T23:40:00.000+01:002006-06-26T23:40:00.000+01:00I bought some of the 2003 en-primeur bill, but I t...I bought some of the 2003 en-primeur <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/profile/586039" REL="nofollow">bill</A>, but I think I'm gonna give the 2005 a miss.
