Diary Monday 17th October 2016 I posted Tuesday’s diary up before posting the Monday entry – doh! There isn’t much to report other than a job club visit that achieved nothing, followed by a lovely late afternoon pub signs walk. Diary Tuesday 18th October 2016 Tuesday is already covered bar a late night unexpected visit by a young lady neighbour who decided we should get drunk together and invited over to her flat, so we went over with consequences to share tomorrow. Diary – Wednesday 19th October 2016 A routine job club visit in the daytime. It was the evening that got strange. I really messed Up A relationship tonight before it even got started. As mentioned above I met a lovely lady here in Preston and last night we got rather intimate together which was lovely. This evening we went for drinks and pub grub and she asked me how it was that I’d become ensnared in a cult in the early 1980’s. I had told her last night but she barely remembered the conversation. I mentioned again the replies I usually give, my father’s death in 1979, facing unemployment, and recovering from a bout of Hepatitis A. The last of these freaked her out as she is convinced all Hepatitis infections are alike and worried that I might have infected her when we shared some intimacy the night before. She walked out of the pub and declined to talk to me though we had a few tense exchanges online. I sent her links showing that Hepatitis A is not infectious any more after two months let alone thirty years and it is mainly transmitted by sharing food or drink, especially in its early stages when there is no visible sign of the jaundice that kicks in later. Hepatitis B and C are the more dangerous and long term varieties. So, despite evidence to the contrary, she is still staying away from me – it was lovely while it lasted. She may yet snap out of it though. I hope so. Arthur Chappell
