SECOND THOUGHTS HAD

Months past, this old geezer made a loan to a person known with the expectation that the sum would be returned.  The person who borrowed cash took a powder and the sum loaned was written off.

It would seem that some do not wander far from the mark, and the person thought to have travelled far turned up to be living just up the road from.  The comment was made that loan was not repaid as one thought of the obligation as 'out of sight, out of mind'.  Fancy that.

Last week, the borrower came to hostel.  Left note that he wanted to return cash.  Gobsmacked I was.

The problem with re-visiting a bad loan is that it does not always play out well.  Days past and the chappie who promised to stop by, did not.  One should always keep expectations low.

The amount loaned has been written off.  The old geezer felt that way months ago and should have kept true to that feeling.  Not bloody likely to sit by the door and wait for.

After reviewing the situation, the chappie must have come to senses and felt there was no need to break a bad habit.  That is the way of it.
