I've been going to Earlsdon as I quite like it and i can't put my finger on why and i've been loading up on proteins and energy via soya milk and flapjacks from the organic food shop on the high street so i can cycle back home.
Strange co-incidences have happened in this shop in the two times i've been in.
The first time i walked in to buy a flapjack, the woman behind the counter said 'flapjacks' out loud! It was as if she was vocalising my thoughts. She was on the phone to the supplier and needed more. Luckily she had enough for me.
The second time i walked in to get flapjacks, the woman behind the counter said "BEN!" i looked around and it was Kirsty from school, an old friend and bitching buddy from 25 years ago.
Excitedly we bitched about everyone at school who is now decrepit and then this young woman walked in who i had seen the day before in a cafe there, to buy some eggs. High on old school friends and sugar from the flapjacks i blurted out "YOU LOOK LIKE A 60s MODEL..."unfortunately i forgot the name of the model i was thinking of, it could be Jean Shrimpton but it also could be the one who was in the Cowboy Kate book from 65. She also looked like Tatiana Patiz and a bit of the Christy T. So either way a good pedigree. Kirsty helped me recover a bit by saying i likened her to a model too and thankfully i remembered the model's name as Jean Shrimpton, this didn't soften the embarrassment for her much though.
She works in a cafe.
