So- an intriguing overheard conversation, liberally edited.

My work or theirs? Difficult to say really. Worth a wider audience anyway.

Whether reportage or creation, a very nice piece of work.

(And extra points for the 'or Czecho-French' phrase.)

Thanks, Sprout.

And the same from me, sprout.

Very good Sprout.

Interesting conversation. I wanted to know more

Thank you for sharing

Thanks - there was a little bit more, but I grouped a lot of it together to keep the thread of the story. They were a fascinating couple - I eavesdrop a lot, I'm ashamed to say, and it's quite rare to come across a really interesting conversation.

I thought this was really striking - a vignette on a tragedy. Enough to give you the thread of the story and leave you wondering about the rest.

I overheard someone say 'Can you give blood if you're knackered'

I still wonder....

I can really appreciate this, romance and tragedy discussed in such a succinct and honest fashion, very 'practical' indeed.
