Le weekend...

Saturday

Spent almost all day in bed feeling ill. Some would call it a hangover, but I don't as nobody feels sorry for you when you say that.

Sunday

Nothing much happened. But did meet a random person in the street. Was just walking along and a voice from behind me said 'hello'. It was a fairly elderly lady who I think had been trying to catch up with me for sometime, as I remember overtaking her 5 minutes previously. But I think she had been falling further and further behind, and in the end decided to shout 'hello' to my back from about 40 meters away. Not wanting to appear unfriendly towards this what was a pretty big effort to say 'hello', I replied with the same, and waited to see if she was going to say anything else. She did.

'Where are you going?'

'Umm...to a net bar' (thinking maybe this was someone I had met, but forgotten)

'What?'

'To use a computer...somewhere'

'Computer. Yes. Where are you from?'

'England'

'England. I been to England two times.'

'Riiight. Where did you go?' (this isn't someone I know)

'Yes. Two times. It's time for dinner now. Shall we go to eat?' (she looked uneasy at this moment as I think she knew she hadn't understood my question. As a result I thought she may have asked me out to dinner either by mistake or in panic.)

'Umm...well, I've got to send an e-mail.' (didn't really)

'Oh. Do you have a phone number?'

'No...but I can give you my e-mail, you strange lady'. (I really don't have a phone yet; didn't really say 'strange lady')

She did send me an e-mail, and tells me she is a peddler, and knows another region near here very well. She says it's a beautiful area...which is a 'historical fact'. She wants to take me there for a daytrip. She wants to know where I live as well. I'm sure she is just a really nice lady wanting to speak English. But I'm not going to go there anytime soon. I will wait for a similar situation to arise which involves a much younger lady who is really fit. I am aware that I will have to walk to another city for it to become a possibility, cause it sure aint gonna happen in this town/small city/no fit ladies place.
