[Citroënbender]

I’ve got an octogenarian spinster neighbour who’s a real gem. It’s unfortunate that many of her family still lean on her to babysit, gopher, and generally host or attend all manner of occasions.

Today I managed to snap a great informal picture of her chatting with a friend, and sent it to her favourite niece, who’s lived for years in central Australia and doesn’t get over so much as she’d like. The reaction to seeing her aunt just being relaxed and happy was one of genuine pleasure.
