Terry, this is wonderful - thank you for a real treat of a read!
This part really made me laugh: "I came back from a lecture once to discover a note wedged in my door — a note with nothing on it. I knew straight away it was from Yvette. “I didn’t have a pen on me”, she told me later."
It's always lovely to be on the same wavelength as someone special! Brilliant stuff.
A charming and wistful memory, Terry. A time so illustrative of how youth feels -- and never to be forgotten. T'would bring a tear tae a glass eye. I just loved it.
Lovely story, Terry. Thanks for sharing.
"I didn't have a pen on me." This really made me grin.
Thanks, Nathan. Yes, It's great, isn't it?

Isn't it?! What's more, she KNEW that i would know it was from her! @kathleen Waller liked that bit as well. 😊
“I didn’t have a pen on me.” !! 😍
😆
Very nice, Terry and very relatable. You never forget those magical times.
Indeed, Jim, and so fortunate to have experienced them 🙂

LOL Thanks, Sharron!
Lovely snippet about long lost friends. Have you ever googled Yvette?
Thanks, Carissa. Not too mushy I hope, seeing as I identify as tough:😎
Yes, but came up blank. She probably got married and changed her name.
What’s wrong with mushy?
it doesn't go with my tough guy image: see my self-portrait at the top of this post: https://terryfreedman.substack.com/p/start-the-week-87-d77
When my dad referred to a love scene, “Aw that’s mushy stuff.”
Chortle. He was right! Or was he a closet softie as well?
Tough! ha ha ha. You old softy.
er, sorry, but what's with the "old"???
ooops.
🤣
