Will someone please issue standard guidelines about social kissing? We have gone all European and lots of folks now aim for a kiss on both cheeks..but not everyone. I can get traumatised by one side alone; now we have to do that awkward head jiggle, trying to guess if two kisses are required.It's almost as embarrassing as 'The Double Goodbye' as cited in 'Curb your Enthusiasm'; when you say a big flurry of goodbyes to someone and then meet them again two minutes later - eg. at the till in Somerfield. (Don't get me started on the shortcomings of Somerfield).
So last night, I enjoyed the miscellaneous social collision in the pub, that was Alasdair Gray , Stuart, Marisa, Francis, and The Tourettes. You can see I've just learned to do links. We talked philosophy and life after death. Or not.
Okay, bye for now. That'll be a single goodbye.

Haha, that made me laugh..the kissing dilemma reminds me of the little dance you do when a person walking towards you goes one way and you want to go the same way, and what follows is a kind of Morris Dance. Very awkward! As for The Tourettes, I'd be worried about repeated kisses with their condition...(joke) Anyhoo, I always go for one kiss sweetie!
Hi, Ciara -
I always enjoy your posts. It sounds as though you're having a good week and enjoying the spring weather.
My husband and I used to joke about the etiquette of passing someone at work in the hallway. The first time, you say hello or good morning. The second time, it's just a nod and a smile. By the third time, it gets uncomfortable and you just try to ignore each other!
