Went for a dog walk with a friend - she is a very experienced homoeopath so I find this is a good way to bash out ideas (probably pretty wearing for her as she knows at some point I will turn and say "right, now, time for philosophy", but the fact that she keeps walking with me is a sign that she forgives me - a good friend, no?)
Anyway, I managed to get back without telling ANY of the three couples with their dogs, three children on the bench OR the distant farmer on his tractor. I think the phrase "could do better" springs to mind, although to be fair the phrase "stop bloody forgetting!" would be more helpful.
I also chose to blindly whizz past two people who are on my hit list (whizzing in the car - don't do runnin') rather than stop and chat. Again, didn't cross my mind.
It is not in my nature to forestall dog walkers and start talking to them, or drive up to neighbours, wind down the window and begin a conversation. It is not in my nature to start up a conversation in any but the most trying of circumstances ("excuse me, you're standing on my foot".) However this is where the Quest began, in order to MAKE me.
Hmmph!
So nipped over to see a nurse I know, told her and coerced her into getting together a team for the quiz.
Tomorrow is another day.
