... we had better things to look to. We are still chuckling how the elders on a ward one time, very much a mixed bunch of what they can even say more bluntly in the input of advancing years, if that is their characteristic mode. If a younger person had said it it would have had to be reported ... The discretion in not every word or deed noted... !
Our Dad was blunt. It was character building. And indeed after the social exclusion, if this person was looking for the reaction expected, it was not what they anticipated.
And much goes on long before I came along and will continue to do so... nothing I say to those on who I report to will be surprised either!
My late husband one of those impressionists of life, a watcher of people in mannerisms and dialects relayed many an experience from the many views of life in various situations....
... now I have many a tale to relay again, though the home is empty on arrival back home. The first moments, here, and in Kernow where Dad in retirement bounded down from the top of the home to make a pot of tea ... the latter years with a husband off work one was greeted with a brew too! And those unique twinkles in greetings only loved ones have for you!
