sometimes I'm funny...

I just remembered... a few weeks back Andrea was driving me to my new flat with a car load of my things that she had been so graciously storing for me while I was in between places... She was at an intersection and accidentally caused her gears to grind...

'ooh my god' she said... ' I'm rubbish, wrong gear'

to which I responded...

'no no darling... it's not bad... I've always seen gears as more of a suggestion'.
