Shallow

On a lighter note, the chap in the shop where I buy my breakfast flapjack every morning said to me this morning, 'You had a rough one?' which I took to mean that I was looking particularly (possibly even spectacularly) crap this morning so I must have been out on a bender the night before. I asked (archly) what he meant by that and did he really think I looked that bad. He blushed scarlet and stammered that he was referring to the foul weather - I had misheard the beginning of the sentence. He told me I looked lovely, as I always do and then his scarlet face notched up a shade and he muttered, have a nice day' as I scuttled out of the shop.
