I’ve had a twitching right eye for a month now. The lower lid. It’s driving me mad - feels like everyone can see it. Its deranged …. 😉. I realise that’s why someone winked at me last week, as he thought I was winking at him.
Any cures welcomed.

I stepped off the pavement on shitty corporate Bond Street W1 , and a lime biker was whizzing towards me. He put the brakes on, smiled and gave me a wink. A wink. Not been winked at for years. 😉

#FridayFail question for a friend: What’s worst - being told you’re being made redundant or being told you might be made redundant? I think my optimism about new starts upset her 😔
