Shyama

Once again buying flowers, this time half-price Sweet Williams with a bottle of white wine in a supermarket, it is late and the girl at the check-out seems friendly and approachable.  Unfortunately she doesn't have a middle name.  Her colleague, an older woman two tills away, is slouched and twidling her hair while listening into our conversation.  The supermarket is not busy. I ask if she can help. She smiles.  She can.
