Note to self

There's a man who has been coming to Zac's now for a couple of months. He was looking for a small and friendly church so we told him about Monty's church. He was there sitting by himself when I arrived this morning so I sat next to him. A kindly gesture on my part, yes?

Except his name's Mike so now everybody in the church thinks he's my husband.

After being accused a couple of weeks ago of snuggling up to an 80-year-old man I resolve to never sit next to or near a man again.

Interestingly, in the passage from Timothy read today, Paul says widows under 60 should be encouraged to marry again otherwise their desires will get the better of them. Or words to that effect. Fortunately I am neither widow nor under 60.

I am aching a little though across the shoulders. I assume it's the after-effect of the flu jab. Other than that I seem okay. Then again it might have been being pulled by Louie Dog when GrandDaughter2 and I took him out yesterday!

The Halloween themed postbox topper we passed on our walk.

You'll just have to stop being so friendly!

So THAT'S the email that made you so angry, eh? Did the man himself misinterpret things and complain? Or was it his jealous wife/girlfriend? I hope you didn't get called a FLOOZY, lol! I find that some men will interpret ANY social politeness or standard friendliness as a come-on, an invitation to make their move.

Agreed. A lot of men don't seem to get the concept of politeness to all. It's definitely open to misinterpretation. Sounds like Paul was as bad as the rest!

I wrote that once! Must be my inner man insisting on saying important things twice.

Do you really worry about the wagging tongues? I think being friendly is the right thing.

I was only 56 when I first became a widow but didn't know about remarrying until just now. I'm now 62 so I think that makes me safe to stay single thankfully.
