We've recently moved across the globe with our children. We now live in a country town in Australia. When we were in the UK, I rode a bike with a tagalong on the back...that's a one wheeled bike attachment which a small kid can sit on and pedal...it makes an ordinary bike into a tandem. You can unclip them easily.
Anyway...I still ride my bike but alone because my daughter is now too big for a tagalong...we gave ours away before we moved here.
My neighbour is in his 80s...very delicate seeming old man...when I first met him my DH saw me speaking to him in the street...DH was in the house and glanced out ....when I got in he asked me what he was like I said..."He's very old, a bit dreamy...it's like he's half in the other world already." which was a bit of a fanciful thing to say but it's the impression I got.
Yesterday DH met him for the first time to speak to...DH was cutting down some plants in the front and the neighbour came out with his wife...he chatted to DH about the weather a bit and then said "What's that thing...when your wife rides her bike...what's that contraption on the back...the extra bike?"
THere IS no contraption on my bike any more. It's not even the same bike. My husband was confused for a moment and said "What?" and the old man's wife waved her hand and mouthed "he gets confused" then she said "Maybe he saw it in a dream."
Weird?
It sounds funny but that contraption...my tagalong was such an important part of my daily life for so long...maybe he saw it's ghost? :D
AIBU?
Wooo. Spooky? Glitch in the Matrix type thing?
