We are planning to go to the Eastern Highlands over Christmas, but it has been difficult to find a suitable place to stay at. Earlier in the week, I had sent a message to someone asking them if they had any vacancies and they had replied that they had. They now message me again: 'Are you coming or can we cancel your reservation??? I take offence to the three question marks. I didn't make a reservation and I feel like I am being treated as though I am unreliable. Sian tells me I am taking the message too seriously.
'Normal people don't look at punctuation the way you do,' she says. Maybe she's right, but I think there is more to punctuation than meets the eye. Three question marks would be a clear sign that I was annoyed.
In the evening, we take part in a music quiz and come third last. It's a good evening though and great to get out once in a while.
