This is an old story that I just remembered and wanted to document here.
Just after we moved to Melbourne, (2008!) I had to meet up with someone Frith knew who I’d never met. When we found each other, she told me “I knew it was you. Frith described you as “tall and pretty” and here you are!”
I replied with “really? That doesn’t sound like something he would say?” But she was adamant that that’s how he described me. I was still skeptical but let her think it anyway.
I asked him about it later. “Honey, just out of curiosity, how did you describe me to your friend?”
“Pretty tall…”
Ah. There it is. That was more like it. ❤
