An Upstanding Member Of The Community!?

At Knit'n'natter yesterday...

One of our ladies has broken her ankle and was in a moonboot and using a stick so couldn't sit in her usual place at the far end of the table.  

She needed the seat nearest the door; which meant everybody who usually sits on that side of the table had to move, including me.  

It was quite interesting really.

I ended up sitting on the other side of the table next to fellow volunteer and board member May.   She trained as a nurse but left nursing to look after her disabled child.   

Her son wants to volunteer for St John's Ambulance so, as he is a minor, she has to volunteer with him.   

A while ago, having no recent employment referee, she asked me to be one of her character referees.   

Yesterday she said "You could sign people's passport photos you know."  

 EH?  

 "Well by dint of being Chair here you're considered an upstanding member of the community."

The ladies were quite startled at how loudly and long I laughed at that.
