A tall man and a duck...

I went with my housemate to look at his new place tonight. On our way upstairs to his flat we were waylaid by his new neighbours, who invited us in for a cup of tea. These women (who were absolutely lovely and loads of fun) are into New Age, spiritual, tarot type stuff. One of them picked up my housemate's cup to read his tea leaves. She looked at it and said (rather earnestly) "There's a tall man being followed by a duck."

To our everlasting credit, my housemate and I did not laugh.
