Conversations had with strangers are normally of a ho-hum nature “isn’t the weather lovely” “Oh yes” and then lapsing into silence however occasionally they are outstanding flights of fancy.
On the train to Glasgow I tumbled in to a conversation of this delightful nature with the couple sitting next to me.
It started with a poster of birds from the newspaper and a fear of birds – his not mine, from there the conversation transitioned to tongue curling – she & I could do it, he couldn’t – it’s genetic just in case you didn’t know, to gold fish’s 3 sec memory to fear vs exciting to bumblebees and how delightfully fuzzy and pat-able they look.
And then the train arrived and it was over *sigh*
