Something that you don't come across too often and, in it's own way, a modest rebuke to all those who think men don't emote: a man quietly discussing his relationship, it's ups, it's down, with someone who was either a friend or workmate. I'd settled down for a quiet read after finishing a meal in Wholefoods when I picked up snippets of the conversation happening over the next table.

I must have something akin to dog whistle hearing; a word or a random sentence pops out of the ether, and that's it, I'm reeled in to ear wigging.
