Shove on!


Olive has a new friend. Her name is Siobhan and she is a "barrista" which I think is some kind of lawyer. I met her drinking coffee at the park. She had a ladybug on her shoulder so I pointed that out to her. She said, "Oh, thanks" and we struck up a conversation. She is lovely. "So, what's a lawyer like you doing drinking coffee in the middle of the day in a park?" "I could ask you the same question." "Yes, but my answer might make you cry." "I had my tear ducts surgically removed last year. F'ing HMO wouldn't reimburse me." "Tell me about it," I said, holding up my bionic hand. "Killer." "Who says 'killer' anymore?" "I do." "I like you." "I like you too."
