"I do love you, you know." A lovely thing to say... even if it does imply that the person saying it to me doesn't believe that I know this. It is easy to forget, I suppose. I was nonplussed to hear it and didn't really react. The strong emotion which followed also surprised me. It might have been the first time I have seen this person that upset about me.
Another interaction with a person, which takes place more often, is the regular conversation with Goldilocks. She is a dote of a 4 year old. Every time we first meet, she is reserved and takes a good while to feel comfortable enough to talk to me. She happily plays on her own until she feels like communicating with words. At some stage, I eventually go for a cigarette. The last time I did this she came to the door and shook her finger at me. Later in the evening she started in with her usual refrain, "those are gonna kill ya" (in a strong Dublin accent). She is one of the few people that I do not mind getting hassled by about my smoking. I have decided that I will give up cigarettes when Goldilocks is 10. Don't want to rush into anything after all.
I haven't been rushing to write in my blog in 2010. Well, I have started again today.
