Ever had the experience of someone saying something which, to them, is a complete throwaway, but which, to you, has far, far more significance? I had just such an experience in 'worktown' Wetherspoons when I called in for a couple of drinks after work this evening. I was wearing a shirt declaring my allegiance (strictly in an 'armchair fan' sense these days) to a certain Cornish rugby club. A woman commented, without the slightest encouragement from me, that I was 'a long way from home'. In more ways than you can possibly imagine, lovey.
Love & best wishes to all

Hahahaha, yeah. I wore my university sweatshirt to a gathering last night. They almost beat the hosts' alma mater in American football last weekend (it took 3 overtimes in what is usually a rout). It made for some good conversation!

Hello Jay
DeleteI wasn't laughing at the time, it actually upset me rather, but maybe that's because I'm struggling, even by my standards, at the moment. 24 hours on, though, and I can look back and see that it was just a throwaway, and treat it in that light.
Love & best wishes
