A Typical Encounter.

The garden pictures can wait. I forgot to mention that I had another one of those encounters in the city centre today.

There was a middle aged woman walking down the road. She was one of those who looks… how can I put it? Experienced? Been there, done that, got the scars to prove it? You know the sort I mean.

So anyway, she was giving me a long, serious, apparently meaningful stare as she walked in my direction. Needless to say, I offered nothing more than a couple of cursory glances back and she passed by without incident.

Middle aged women do that to me a lot, you know, and I haven’t a clue why. Maybe they think they recognise me. Maybe they’re mediums who can see something other people can’t. Maybe they think I look in need of a friend, and maybe they think I can afford one.
