Reece didn’t mind that I pointed out the spelling error in his notice,
claiming he was in a hurry when he did it, at the start of Covid,
and that auto correct doesn’t pick up errors in CAPITALS;
and I was only the third person to notice anyway in all that time ;
he still gave me the pen and paper — & while the others
were playing at playing golf, I was playing at being a writer,
chasing after errant words while others chased after errant balls;
when I showed Reece what I had written , he said, Hey! That’s not
how you spell my name: it’s ‘RHYS’, he smiled. He got me there

chasing after errant words while others chased after errant balls
Is the most poetic bit for me.

you’re so right, Chelsea: I actually thought of deleting most of the text and keeping those lines 🙂

you’re so right: I should have kept those lines that Chelsea suggested , and deleted the rest :it could have done without the backstory

Chelsea is right, that line is brilliant.
I also liked the story though.
It wouldn’t have been a piece
Without both you and Rhys!

it’s tricky, Hobbo: those lines are brilliant but they need the story to support it; and humour is everything: I’m sure you’ll agree 🙂 especially the self deprecating kind 🙂

The backstory is delightful! But it is true that the “errant words…errant balls” line catches the attention.
Also, the most wondrous bit for me was when Reece was revealed to be Rhys.

Everyone’s chasing something I guess….even if it’s a better spell check program or efficient vaccine.
