Title: Crabby
Post by: Sheila on February 16, 2022, 01:50:16 PM
crabbyob, I have had a lovely morning.  I was supposed to be going to an exercise class with a neighbour but she suggested we go to the garden centre instead!  We were having a coffee and I had a fit of coughing so took myself off to use my inhaler.  As I came back to the table a lady said 'I think I know you'.  I looked at her face and said 'yes, but I can't remember where from'.


It was Goa and she has an amazing memory.  We had a lovely chat and I gave her our phone number so I hope she gets in touch.  She said that one of the waiters from the Dona Sylvia has died of Covid.  She exchanges emails with one of the jewellers in Cavellosim.


It was a funny morning.  I recognised a man who used to be a customer of the bank where I worked about 20 years ago.  He came up to me a few minutes later in the cafe and said 'HSBC'.  I laughed and asked if he had been wracking his brain wondering where he knew me from.  He had!
