OU and Deacon Blue

Right it's been 17 years since I fell and had a brain injury and a trait that survivors can have is to say too much. To say things that otherwise they would have kept to themselves.

When it was a short time after my injury I did have a tendency to do that. So over time I've tried to keep an eye on what I say, when I say it.

Today I had an OU tutorial. The tutor was joking that her throat is a bit hoarse, because she went to watch Deacon Blue at a gig last night.

Now then. Here in Glasgow at the bottom of our garden, we can see a house, just like most folk can. In this house lives Ricky Ross, Lorraine McIntosh and their four children. So in the chatbox on our tutorial, I couldn't resist writing that very thing.

When the tutor saw what I'd written she gave a sharp audible intake of breath! And said "Lucy, so Ricky Ross lives at the bottom of your garden??!!" I confirmed it. She was clearly very impressed!

A bit later she was commenting how it annoyed her that people in the gig were leaving in the middle of the songs and that it was a bit disruptive. So I quickly commented "What, even during Dignity?!" which was met with some mirth...

...I just hope that it wasn't saying too much like I used to just after my TBI. But it did cause a lot of amusement!
