as she brushed past i leant towards the neatly stacked biscuits - more to make a show out of moving than out of necessity.
manners.
as she moved out of the aisle i could still smell her perfume, an earthy scent that conjured a sense of familiarity.
the moment passed. the scent had dissipated and with it whatever memory that had been surfacing.
i shook my head slightly.
memories had been playing tricks on me lately, dragging my focus from the present off to the side.

last night i ran in the quicker group at the little running club we've ended up a part of.
it was such a confidence boost because my entire life i have convinced myself i'm useless at running.
but i got stuck in. even on the three hills we ended up running - i hung on. slowly. but i was there.
angus was frustratingly good at the hills. but i only say that half seriously. i'm really enjoying the ease he covers the ground, and whilst it's around 45987304957m ahead of me, it's fun we're out there running together .sorta.
i guess the equivalent of posting a 'i'm really lucky' instagram post would be to write it here.
there it is.
