And the first person to step up to the plate was Jenny O'Connell, who runs Sisterly, one of the founders of Sisterly.

And really, it was a very sisterly thing for her to do.

She suggested that I go out on a date with one of her friends.

And I can't tell you the warm glow I felt in my heart when she said, would you go on a blind date with one of my friends?

I thought, A, well done me for bringing my singledom to the table.

But also, well done universe and angels.

Because there was a little bit of me that like my angels have spoken to Jenny's angels.

Because the way that Jenny said it to me, we were in a pub together.

We were sitting and having some Negronis.

And we were chatting away, chatting away.

And she just turned to me and she goes, like it just occurred to her.

She was like, would you be up for going on a blind date?

And I was like,

Yes.

So, I'm not going to tell you too much about this gentleman because he doesn't know that I'm talking about him.

But suffice to say, her friend is gorgeous.

Like, a lovely, lovely guy.

We've been on a couple of dates.

We're still in touch.

And I'm sure we'll go on a few more.
