An Irish Conversation in a Dublin Field
-Excuse me?
-Hello
-You took a photograph of my house last week
-Ah
-Can you tell me why?
-Where do you live?
-On that road over there
-The house by the gap?
-Yes. Are you interested in it?
-Em, I have a thing for walls
-You have a thing for what?
-Walls
-You have a thing for walls?
-Yeah. Sorry.
-Are you serious?
-Yeah. I’ve been away for a while, and I missed the walls
-Oh. It’s just we have the house on the market and I thought you might be photographing it because you were interested in it
-Well I was, but not in that way
-You don’t want to buy it?
-I just like walls

Did they then try and sell you the wall?
I then apologised for either getting their hopes up or for causing alarm.
