We blokes is wimps.

[Stinky]

Pharmacy, this afternoon.
In the small queue to get my prescribed painkillers.
Long time on crutches, now physio rebuilding muscle stature.
I absolutely ache.
Get the tablets and go treat myself to a cold beer in the cafe next door.
There is a girl in front of me.
Early 20’s and a baby in a sort of sling/hammock.
45 degrees left shoulder to right hip.
So I have a little look.
It is bloodies tiny.
Asleep, eyes not closed but absolutely screwed up shut.
And wrinkly.
She smiles at me looking and I ask, ‘how old?’.
She looks at her watch and says…..12 hours.
We blokes is wimps.

A 12 hour old piglet with mum needing something strong from the café no doubt !!! Good for her, that's pretty amazing !
