It takes all sorts.I'm quite impressed you said hello, I think I might have avoided eye contact altogether (all the eyes).
Well, I really didn't know what to do...that was the best I could come up with at that moment. As I wrote earlier, what is "normal" in such a situation. I'm really thankful she/he didn't try to talk to me that really would have swamped me.
So you spoke to Him/Her in English? Why did you think he/she was English?

I even converted meters into feet to make you fully understand the anecdote. But you're right, in reality I said: yodeleee yodel dee doooo!

, yes I have had my blood pressure checked and it is perfectly normal, thank you.
Have they checked you for diabetes? That made my brother very tired.

Yes, when I attended the local diabetes centre at the hospital, but that was 10 years ago when this tiredness first started and all they found was a slight lack of Vit.D.
Having said that I think my GP is going to have a look at it again when he has all the tests in - the heart monitor I had removed this afternoon takes 10 days for the results. It is farmed out to a private company!

Is it such a big spider that you can't find the foot of your bed?

You probably ate it in your sleep.

Well I just shook what I thought was a stone out of my slipper and the bloody thing started to crawl over the carpet. Turned out to be some sort of strange fly. Its corpse now lies in the bin wrapped in toilet roll, thanks to Mr. K who nearly had a heart attack when I screamed.
We're plagued with flies this time of year, so all the guys in my neighborhood have purchased toy guns that kill flies with ordinary table salt. They're probably illegal in the UK, but it's immensely entertaining to massacre flies with one hand while sipping on a cold beer in the other.

A good hunter eats what he kills, but I make an exception for flies.
