A rubber stamp moment, and an oasis moment

My second work medical in less than a month, this one supposedly a follow-up in connection with my long-term sickness last year, was a thoroughly perfunctory affair, with exactly the same outcome as its predecessor, namely that I'm still fit to do my job. It got me out of a late turn, if nothing else, with the collateral advantage that I'm now in my local rather than wage slaving, so it can't be all bad.
Not half so good, though, as a little moment of connection with a more than passably cute boy on my meandering way from town to here. It came on an after-school bus, where I was occupying my favoured eye candy spotting niche, the left hand seat at the front of the top deck, while he was in the corresponding seat on the right. A gaggle of girls, from the same school as him, as far as I could tell, were getting off the bus at the first town centre stop, and were giggling maniacally about something or another. The collective noise they were making was, to say the least, strange, like a laughing gas attack on an aviary, and both the boy and I turned to see what was going on. He very obviously rolled his eyes and blew through his lips, and our eyes met just at that juncture. It was evident that we had pretty much the same thought in mind - 'Girls!!!!' - and that shared second caused us both to break into spontaneous grins. These things never have a sequel, of course, but, as I've said before, any oasis in the wilderness of life as a boylover is thoroughly welcome.

Love & best wishes to all
Sammy B
