Whoops!

Driving to Zac's tonight I thought I spotted someone I know. I had stopped at a roundabout and was having a good look to see if it were Jamie when I suddenly thought, 'You're a middle-aged woman staring at a young man in vest and cycling shorts: look away now! Look away now if you want to retain even a modicum of respectability!'

LOL!

Those mistaken identities can be a hazard. One time I was driving home when I was much younger and saw a guy hitchhiking. From a distance I thought he was my next-door-neighbor so I stopped to pick him up. It wasn't him. Turned out to be a guy going to his psychiatrist appointment at the local mental hospital. Luckily it was a short ride and no harm occurred!

No, I was at the roundabout, anne! Window-shopping, yes, i like that phrase.
