So i had a dream last night and you were in it.....yes, an opening line that, really, neither of us wanted to read.
Let me still your now fast beating heart by quickly adding that it was a completely clean and innocent appearance!
I was running a newsagents......yes......and we had drafted in an old stalwart to cover a shift, who turned out to be you ,only with a different name and appearance!
You looked like an oversized gnome complete with extravagent beard.
How i deciphered this was you i cannot say, other than it was definitely you, the dream was clear on that.
I was introducing you with a potted history, to the young girl also working that shift. She was a current member of my staff only also haviing a different name.
We were joined by a cafe lady....yes the newsagents has a cafe...who was going on her break pushing a wheelchair bound individual of indeterminate description, i know not what part they played or even why the cafe lady was taking them on her break.
Now, the girl, she of the different name, was bemoaning the cafe lady saying she was using your till and letting customers go out back into the cafe area for a warm!
The cafe lady then told me she had to drop a shift as she had no one to look after her kids and couldn't ask her husband as they weren't his kids.....
She too was based on a former employee of mine who also had a casual attitude to kids, marriage and shift scheduling. However she remained nameless in the dream.
As the 2 ladies argued the rights and wrongs of using your till, you, wore your patented,' bemused round women' expression without saying a word.
