Hello

I was sitting on a bench in the pedestrian area just opposite Starbucks this morning, waiting for Graham to come back from Marks & Spencer.   It was busy, but not too busy. Through the not-crowd came two black-clad policemen, all geared up with accoutrement and stern attention to duty.  I caught the eye of one of them, he smiled, and said: “Hello!”

Be still my foolish [old] heart.

  1. It’s good karma to be kind to old farties. ;)

    /me ducks and runs

  2. So John, is this your reserved way of telling us you have a soft spot for a man in uniform?

  3. John, you flirt. ;-)

  4. A man in uniform always used to make my heart race. :-D

  5. Heh! Can’t argue with any of the above… :D

  6. Yes, can’t argue….there is something alluring about a man in uniform, albeit if he’s Mr. Plod :)

  7. Old your heart may be but never foolish. Actually I would argue with old too.

    Oh definitely I’d argue with old. Not John, and probably never will be, and for all our sakes, I do hope not, as well! The old bod may creak and quiver, but the mind’s what’s important, and John’s is just fine!

  12. I am older than you, John, and I know that response won’t die until I do. Goodonya!
