Rab, forever our idiot! Over.

March 17, 2021
Where to start with memories of Rab! The first time I met him properly was in his garden in Radway, wearing the most horrific red Hawaiian shirt, beige shorts, socks and sandals! Apparently this was known as his bbq outfit! Just wow! He gave me a handful of peanut M&Ms.. such an odd man!  
Christmas meals! He never failed to make the night fun! Even when he attempted to give me a science lesson all about gravity and why we don’t fall off the earth if we are stood at the North Pole! Only Rab would ever understand my world theory! He had diagrams on napkins and all sorts! On Remembrance Day 2019 he taught my son Jacob how to March like a real soldier! He inspired Jacob and he now does Beavers! The way Rab stood for his 2 minute silence was just breathtaking. You couldn’t ask for a prouder man! During lockdown, I turned into Rabs adoptive mum ensuring he had lunch every weekend! Only because he conveniently turned up at our house after his date with the washing machine for a hot cheese baguette! He would alway repay us with a can, sometimes even a crate of Diet Pepsi! He taught Josie, my daughter how to rub her tummy and tap her head! What a talent! His useless facts were always so funny! And really bad! Rab would always sit outside our house, in his car and use our WiFi! Rab never failed to make us laugh! He is such a loved man from all of my family, he was the idiot who works in B&Q! Our idiot forever! RIP Rab! Over.

First date

March 17, 2021
So if it wasnt bad enough it was lockdown during a global pandemic... I had never been on a date in over 20 years and I was about to meet what I now know as the man of my dreams.. my lost soulmate ❤ 
Obviously Rab didn't make things easy for either of us... firstly he arrived at our meeting place one hour early. Being a single mum I had things to juggle before I got there so arrived 11am on the dot. He had thought I wasn't coming. He never told me he has to be 15 minutes early wherever he goes. I soon learnt this! I wish I could have taken a photo of my very first sighting of him.. let me explain he got out of his car Jean's, jumper nothing special then that's when I saw him walking over to my car in flippers and a snorkel! Yep that's right! I had told him on the phone I was a qualified scuba diver and this was his tribute to me. So my nerves were gone and as he said "I will never forget our first date". ❤❤❤
