When I told her of my waiting and my curiosity over her bicycle she looked askance ... maybe in her mind I had a little cuckoo in my skull. :D However, we became quite close friends and now we would meet ocassionally at my home or a cafe for 'high tea' as she is staying just 4 miles away and working in town nearby. <br />LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
