A fabulous weekend including a trip down to Olivers/Oliviers down in Greenwich. It's small but cool and cute and we'll be going back. But that's not what is on my mind today.
Somehow Messenger made me a new friend, or an old one. This person was on that list one gets of people who want to be one's friend, so how it happened I don't know. They just sent me a message.
It's taken me a while to track you down as I hadn't used social media but on the way I've watched your YouTube videos, seen you on TV and other things [...] I enjoyed your novel...it starts at the berberis hedge where we first met so I was hooked immediately.
The novel to which he refers, The Spiders Bride, is not based around a berberis hedge and there is only one person who has ever claimed otherwise... an anonymous emailer who sent me this message two years back:
Hello Debbie! Or should I say, [full name?] Lol! In case the phone number I used yesterday didn't work I'm sending an email. I know u like a mystery and hope you'd like to play a guessing game... I am Herne, I am the Huntress, at my best wearing a dress. I am Shiva, I am Kali, Ardhanarishvara I am whole. Spiders bride in a berberis hedge, psychic too am I and know your soul. Who am I? You can have three questions if you can't guess already. Any clues in my email address? I love your email address by the way, here's mine- I am black horseman golgotha war god:dess? For ordinary folk maybe no clues but this is [Debbie fullname]! Looking forward very muchly to a reply. Still love you unconditionally forever xxx
I don't know this person. I have no memory of them at all. I do not recall meeting anyone ever at a berberis hedge. Maybe it's a fairy jest...
This person seems real enough, they have a youtube channel where their face can be clearly seen, they are some kind of gardener, and their FB page is full of beautiful nature photos. They are spiritual and I suspect a bit stoned when they wrote to me, nor are they hiding their name, so nothing to worry about. The only person I can think of, whose face is reminiscent to that of the man in the video, was a guy I knew when we were both kids back in Devizes; it was a matter of considerable talk that he got himself a strange wart on the end of his penis. The doctors froze it off, and he was relieved ... Only to have 120 mini ones raise up in reaction on his unfortunate member. He was very sure about the number, and offered to show it to me, but I was too young to consider penises as anything other than gross, and I just wasn't ready to see one mutilated by multiple wart removal, though I do remember him assuring me that it really was 'f*cking freaky.'
In any case, there's no way to broach this like a normal conversation opener. I am not up to the task of asking this man if he was the kid who somehow got himself 120 genital warts. I confessed my lack of memory, and he has been quiet since, hopefully not mortified or offended. If he is the person I remember, he had a sense of humour and if not... Then it really is best to avoid the conversation at all costs.
