Just had a chat with someone I've not seen for a while out front in the cafe, where there's some work going on - builders in fixing things.
Half way through the chat, I feel the beginnings of a worrisome emanation in my posterior and knowing what I ate last night, I know where this is going.
Out it slipped and began filling the space in between us with the most awful miasma. Prepared, I'd already stepped left and right a bit, in part to work it out, in part to begin to put space in between us and in mor parts to allow for movement that wouldn't raise questions.
As I did this, I inadvertantly looked over at the people working and I guess wriggled my nose a bit in a slip of self-acknowledged disgust. The person I'm chatting with caught this and his gaze followed mine and then he too side-stepped away from the builders. Not from me. Clearly he has smelt it too. Clearly, a mistake on his part that I'm not going to correct. He looks and me and shakes his head as if to share a moment of criticism against these filthy bastards befouling our noses.
I didn't correct him. I'm disgusted too.
