secret admirer?

Flowers arrived for me early this morning, while I was still sleeping.

The family that I am staying with was desperately trying to figure out the mystery of who was sending me a HUGE bouquet of flowers. The consensus was a secret admirer; despite the fact that I've only been in the country two weeks.


When I emerged after getting ready, the dad was the only one home and asked me who was sending me flowers and telling me about the secret admirer theory they all had. He left, and their son popped in quickly between a hockey game and a rugby game. He questioned me concerning the sender of the flowers as he was searching the kitchen for food. The secret admirer theory was also discussed. He left quickly thereafter to make it to the next game. Then, the mum got home and asked me about the flowers. She was saying how they all were rather impressed, thinking that someone spotted me rather quickly, etc.

The truth is, that it was NOT a secret admirer who was sending me flowers. It was my lovely Auntie Mary and Uncle Paul who sent me the flowers to congratulate me for completing my first week of work! So kind and sweet.

We all had a good laugh at the secret admirer theory though. The mum said it's probably a good thing that one of the Croydon boys hasn't taken notice of me yet. That I could do better ;)
