A couple of
nights ago we (Jane and I) had the funniest conversation, and despite her
protests I think it needs to be recorded for posterity. She and Clare are in
training for the 14km City-to-Surf fun(?) run and wanted to try the distance
last weekend (for the record, they did brilliantly well). She suggested that I
load Hugo into the bike trailer and that MacK and I cycle around the local lake
to meet them if it wasn’t too cold.
I asked her
what direction they would be travelling in (anti-clockwise/clockwise) so we
could plan our travel route. Jane’s response was that it would depend where she
started from. Granted, she was tired after a particularly grueling day of
study, but she momentarily lost sight of the reality that the clockwise
direction is an overlay, and doesn’t matter where you start from.
Reading the
above, it doesn’t seem anywhere near as funny as it was in the kitchen when we
were both tired but how we laughed! If laughter is truly a medicine, then we
don’t need to take a flu shot this year or next!
