Yesterday I went to an event with two fellow club members. One is a long standing member and a good friend, the other is a new member with a childlike enthusiasm and it was good to have him along.
He's a lively character. In his 30s married with a baby, seems to work hard play hard iyswim. Everywhere we go we bump into someone he knows.
Yesterday, we were waiting on the station and he's chatting to a young woman, nothing unusual in that, he told us she was a friend from school. We assumed this was a chance meeting and she was on her way somewhere else, but no, she lives near us but had travelled independently to meet him there and watch the two hour long event he was competing in.
She spent the rest of the day with us, basically organising him, more like his mother than his wife TBH. Making sure he had the right kit, ate, was comfortable etc. She came for lunch with us and was perfectly pleasant. Then she drove him home.
Not my business, I suppose, but that's weird, isn't it?
