Comments on: A Writer’s Notebook VI http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/a-writers-notebook-vi/ Reflections of a working writer and reader Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:55:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Jim Murdoch http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/a-writers-notebook-vi/comment-page-1/#comment-98075 Jim Murdoch Sat, 10 Nov 2007 15:10:55 +0000 http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/a-writers-notebook-vi/#comment-98075 As we were in the process of moving into our present flat we met on the landing, as you do, the young lady who was to become our next door neighbour, a nervous-looking thing in her mid twenties, a little plain and not one for smiling much. At the time it looked like she was living with another girl and her daughter but they left after a couple of weeks. My wife and I suspected she might have been a lesbian and no evidence has been forthcoming over the years to persuade us that our initial suspicion was wrong but then neither have we been proven right as if it matter either way. Suffice to say, had she been asked the question, I'm fairly sure her deadpan answer would have been: "I have a dog."

I used to have the same curiosity about my unattached friends. Now that I'm older, I can make some guesses about the private life of people (not just those that are single). Legitimate question!
