F.o.G.A.

I went to see G.C.D on sunday. He bought a house ages ago, and invited me to tea and biscuits and it just didnt happen. However, on saturday I had a G.C.D. moment and texted him quite early to see if he was up and receiving guests.

His house is really lovely. It suits him...you know when something does? He has things in his house that belong to other members of my family originaly and seeing them again made the house feel familiar and comforting. He also has a really really joyful picture of my grandmother and his sister which I hadnt seen before.

I talk to G.C.D. when, and I hate to admit this, when I need to. As the Font of Good Advice with a very busy life he and I dont actually talk very much.
I go to him with big things that I havent made a decision about, or nearly have and I want a no-nonsence boys opinion. He always says things I havent concidered and although lets me make my own mind up he sometimes...well nearly always...pushes me in the right direction.

So, as always, he let me witter on about rubbish (shocker!) and quietly sat there waiting for me to talk about bigger stuff. Which I did. And I left feeling more decided.

Do you ever have something happen that you couldnt engineer? While I was talking to him a song came on the radio in the background. I commented on it, as bizaarly it added to the conversation that we were having. What I didnt tell him was that the next song that was played really freaked me out.
Another friend of mine was talking reciently about 'signs'. How, if you want an answer to something or want a 'sign' about something that you are not sure about, then you ask for it. I'm not entirely sure who your asking (!) but anyway, you dont look for an answer but keep yourself open to it. (can you sence some skepticism?)
Anyway, I tried it. I asked a question a week ago. To be honest I had forgotten all about it. And then At G.C.D.'s house while we were talking these songs were played on the radio. One of them is played fairly often, its a bit cheesy and girls sing along to it. The other one, the one that made me freak out, I have never heard played before. I havent even heard the songwritter sing any of this songs on this local radio station. They were played back to back and to be honest they dont go together well.
To me they did. In character I am a sarcastic skeptical doubter of all things I dont understand, but this literally jumped out of the radio and slapped me one the face and said 'you wanted a sign....here you go'

So now what? Do I ask for signs all the time? ...its not really 'me'. I think I will prolly keep this story for dinner parties because this stuff makes me feel uncomfortable and uneasy, I know lots of people that would love this, and each to their own, but I'm not sure about it. Maybe I need to open my mind a bit. Maybe I need to concider things not thought about before. I dont know.

What I do know is that G.C.D. and these songs made a difference to my sunday.
