'Asthma!'

Walking through York this afternoon. There's dozens of bike racks and I always check-out what's there, and sometimes even stop to have a proper look at anything of interest.
Mrs S (slightly huffily) - Why are you always staring at bikes?
Me - Would you rather I stared at other women?
Mrs S - Hmmpf

Its Sunday, i'm at work till midday. The guys on shift have to work till 6 or 7pm.
We (i have anyway) have just had the most horrendous two weeks of breakneck pace work readying for an audit, its been frantic. All of a sudden, today...i feel completely knackered.
Me...
'Thats it, i'm going home, Sunday dinner, a beer, gonna go to bed, maybe watch a film and have a nap'
Colleagues, slightly jealously, still laughed
Fat chance of a bike ride. No energy the last two weeks, too much work..today, no chance

"Well it is like this. I can sit here in the comfort of my apartment and talk to you and others on my mobile and deal with my sh1t without interruption, and process my emails, and generally get the job done better than as if I was in the office or I can sit in the discomfort of the office and constantly have to move to talk to you and others on my mobile, and try to deal with my sh1t with the constant and repeated interruptions, and try to process my emails and fail, and not get the job done as quickly. So no, I'm not coming in. And besides you are in a different office, in a different city, in a different country SO WHAT POSSIBLE DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO THE QUALITY OF OUR INTERACTIONS WHERE I AM SAT RIGHT NOW?"
They obviously miss the warmth of your personal interaction
- and yet … haven't noticed that you are in a different country !

The locals think I'm lovely. My interlocutor is in London, never having deigned to set foot in Scandinavia since the project began. And he seems to think Scandinavia is one country, Stockholm and Copenhagen merely being adjacent districts in its mythical capital city. (Everyone knows Malmo is the real capital of Scandinavia.)They obviously miss the warmth of your personal interaction

Sorry if itsa bit heavy but its been just over a year since my 85 year old dad passed, the Vulcan has just stopped flying, a major part of his (and all his familys) RAF life, and looking after mum as best we can, sometimes taking her shopping on my day off today...she's more able to talk about him now without bursting into tears...theres something ive wanted to tell her but held back because its been too upsetting, but now seemed the right time...
We were talking about him and my younger brother who died a few years ago....
Mum...'Kev (her son, my brother) died before his time, we werent ready, but dad was ready...I know that'
'I know mum, he struggled for the last few years...'I thought for a few seconds...
'I'm going to tell you something mum, I know it'll upset you but it may make things easier....when we visited him on his last day in hospital, he was dying in front of us...we didnt realise it at that moment, but the strange thing was...he had a smile on his face, honest to God mum, he was relaxed, smiling and at peace with the world'
Mum inevitably wept...
'Im glad you told me, I knew he was ready to go, thats my John, happy even at the end'
'He had a good life mum, did so many interesting things most of us only dream of..and he had a good death.'
I dont know where the ability to speak so candidly came from, it just seemed the right time.
