Quote, Unquote

I woke up with this idea for a post. I’m not sure where it came from, apart from that I’ve been reading Alan Bennett’s Letters Home which is full of quotable stuff, if only I could remember it. Maybe instead, my mind has set itself to recall things said to me, or said in my hearing. I’m thinking of using these in the side bar ‘about me’ box, as I never know what to put there and have some phoney words filling the space at the moment. Could be even more phoney though? Let’s just do childhood quotes this time, dip a toe as it were.

Look at the mess you’ve made now.

Class chant led by first (unrequited) love, Truro 1980

First day at independent school, Truro, 1982

You’ll probably go out with each other for three weeks.
