A Correction

[poliphilo]

I said my cousin died 20 years ago.

My sister demurred, so I did some research and find it was only 6. I was out by 14 years. Sheesh!

I have a mental image of her funeral. At the time of writing yesterday's post I truly believed I was there. But I wasn't.

In the past when I've come across cases of people mis-remembering things I've always assumed they had an agenda and were deliberately lying. Either that or they were cracked.

I shall be more charitable in future.

I find I'm using it more frequently myself to explain away some of my little foibles.

People have been telling me recently that I'm eccentric. I take it as a compliment.

Tell them it's a great British tradition. Nobody does eccentrics as well as the British.

I guess I'm actually fulfilling an ambition.
