Two social interactions; a Study.

Interaction No 1
I was upstairs when the grocery delivery man rang the doorbell. Ran down the stairs and, taking advantage of the shiny floor and the fact that I was wearing football socks, I executed a perfectly-judged power slide round the corner finishing at the door. The GDM had watched through the glass door and was clearly impressed. He said that he thought that I had overcooked it but I reassured him that I was well capable of high cornering speeds. He thought for a bit and then said "That Mini Cooper outside must be yours".

Interaction No 2
In Budgens buying the things that I had forgotten to order for the grocery delivery. I joined the back of the single, long queue. The checkout lady put one of those "Cashier to till, please" announcements and, being a highly-skilled shopper, I watched for the new till opening and scooted over to be first in the new queue. Result! But then a woman from the old queue pushed in front of me with a muttered "I've been waiting longer than you". What's all that about? Everyone knows that attendance at the old queue confers no rights in the new queue! I didn't say anything (of course) but I gave her a look that spoke of amused tolerance and superiority. She didn't see it.


No pics today and I couldn't find Maude so C had to stand in. Presumably I have to pay her the going rate of an extra helping of cat food.
