I blame that Rebekah Scott.
Well sort of.
She lives in Moratinos, at “The Peaceable Kingdom.”
Nice place to stay they reckon.
Anyway, in her posts she’d encouraged us to be tidy pilgrims.
Maybe pick up a little rubbish along the Way.
So that’s what I was doing today. Not much. Cans and paper and stuff.
Just what I could carry in my hands to the next rubbish bin.
Found a Buff behind some big blackberry bushes didn’t I.
That stretchy tubular fabric thing you wear around your neck, or as a headband or a hat thingy.
Keeps you snuggly when it’s chilly doesn’t it.
Barbara watched as I took off my hat and slipped it over my head.
She had a strange smile on her face.
“What’s so funny?” I said. “I thought about buying one, and now I’ve found one, and I think it’s cool, and it was free, even better, so there.”
“Good good Gerard,” she replied, “Yes yes, you look fine.”
But the look of amusement never left her face.
How do you figure the mind of a woman?
It’s best to just shut up, leave it alone.
We wandered on and she met some pilgrim lady friends.
They chattered away in German, then looked at me and burst into laughter.
“I’m glad to bring such joy to my fellow pilgrims,” I said to Barbara, “but what’s so funny? C'mon now. Let me in on the joke.”
“Ok," she said. "If you insist....You know where you found the Buff behind the blackberry bushes?”
“Of course I do,” I replied grumpily.
“Well, the tissues on the ground should have told you that it was a pilgrim ladies toilet.
Why do you think it was left there?”
Regards
Gerard
Ps. Just horrid sometimes aren’t they? ….Women Pilgrims.
