Women and Waving of Arms.

I was watching a couple of classical orchestral videos on YouTube tonight when I was struck again by that odd coincidence: classical conductors nearly always have white, wavy hair, and the violin section is nearly always well stocked with pretty young women.

And talking of women – which, as you may have noticed, I very rarely do…

I was standing on the lane communing with the bats at twilight this evening when two women-with-dogs came out of Bag Lane a little way down the road and walked off in the opposite direction. And then one of them turned around and waved to me. I haven’t a clue who she was.

I wondered whether she had a clue who I was, but I waved back anyway just to avoid getting a reputation for grumpiness.
