Old ladies down the street today

[todayiamadaisy]

This afternoon:

• an old lady came out of the new public toilet block on the corner of the main street and said to her waiting husband, “Oh, it’s high tech in there, I had to ask the lady coming out for help to work out how to get in.”


• another old lady, older than the first, was lying on a stretcher next to an ambulance in front of a knick-knack shop. The paramedic covered her gently with a blanket, but he was so tall, so high above her, it looked like he was going to lay it over her head. She put her hands up to stop him just as he brought it down around her shoulders. She laughed a little, then rubbed her head.


• another old lady on a gopher did a three-point turn in a supermarket aisle and apologised for blocking my way.
  “It’s alright, I’m dithering about what I want.”
  “Oh good, I thought it was only me who did that”. She motored off, looking pleased.
