Complimenting strangers.

But don't chat to me in Welsh please Phoebes
Although I may smile and nod

*Gulligrannie … what a delightful little girl! So funny your husband spoke to her like she was the adult and you were the child!!

Popty ping Callistemon? smiling and nodding

Bekind ...It does doesn't it? And here's one back for you.....I love your name!

nanamac … I think about what was said to me for ages as well!
Have you thought about putting up some photos of your cooking or makes of any sort?

I know it seems self centred, and you might feel a little awkward at first, but lots of people do that sort of thing now.

If there is no one to appreciate something you have put effort into, perhaps it's a good idea to share the results with others (on here?)
I can assure you, I would be interested!
It's just another way to extend contact really isn't it?

I did it yesterday in Sainsburys a little boy around the age of two smiled at me from his trolley seat he was soooo cute and I told his mother just that.
She beamed and thanked me.
Smiles all round.

Just checking Google translate

On a coach holiday, we were sat at dinner with another couple, didn’t know them, after a day or so he suddenly said what nice teeth I had, white and even!
I was quite flattered, but as I write this sounds like Red Riding Hood and the Wolf!

Callistemon =microwave? Im akways talking to strangers have ended up with some lovely friends that way. Always talk to dogs (and their owners ) & pay complinents. Have had lots of people compliment me on my hair which is nothing special and I only run my fingers through it when i get up sk no styling. Lovely thread

Thank you for the translation Tooyoung
I will stick a note on the microwave so I remember!

I often compliment strangers if they are wearing something I think looks lovely or have great hair etc. I don't find it in the least embarrassing and it's so nice to see their smiling face. Sadly, old, fat and grey I don't often get them myself, but no matter.
