Re: Suffering
Yes strange world Ru.I live on a farm with only a rough bridle-way running through it, yes I wish it was a river like the film.
Mention it as the bridle-way being in the country is used a lot by walkers etc. Funny old world that once people are in the country they say "Good Day" or want to stop and talk. Often they are a pain as I am in physical pain all the time and at times I could do without the extra standing.
Point being is if the same people passed me in town they would say nothing at all. Strange how people change in the countryside, reason I love it.

Then rather than born lucky I have made my own luck and got out, while I can.

Re: Suffering
What a lovely thread .... about a simple hello between strangers ... or an unasked for life history.I think there's a lot of people out there who crave a little human contact.
People say hello to me when I'm out. No idea who they are.
One elderly gentleman has even named me Tuesday (he first saw me on a Tuesday) and will now wave and shout over ...Hi Tuesday, I've got my winter fuel payment and I give him the thumbs up back ... though once, because the day was Wednesday, I shouted back, I'm Wednesday, I'm her twin. He laughed.
Or there is Icy Sue (I named her) .. who I met on a cold winters day when it was frozen snow underfoot and she was nervously tippy toeing along at snail speed so I commandeered her arm and we both tippy toed along together. I know her life history now but not her real name.
One day that might be me.
