Wink, Wink.

Jeff Zycinski | 17:31 UK time, Tuesday, 17 June 2008

I have two lingering symptoms from my recent eye infection. One is a slight aversion to bright sunlight. This was not a problem in Glasgow today. The other is a tendency for one eye to blink more often than usual. This comes and goes a little but it does appear to others as if I'm winking at them. You can see how this might land me in a bit of trouble.

This morning I was attending the meeting of the Scottish Religious Advisory Committee. This is one one of the five advisory groups who offer feedback and advice to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Scotland programme-makers. SRAC includes representatives from various faiths and religions and is chaired by Mona Siddiqui.

As we reached the point in the agenda where I was invited to speak, I thought it prudent to issue a warning about my winking eye. I didn't want anyone in the room to think I was being insincere or that I was trying to win favour with particular individuals.

I think I got away with it, but later in the staff canteen I ordered a small tea and told the girl behind the counter that I didn't want any scones or biscuits because I was watching my weight.

Wink, wink.

That's how I ended up stuffing my face with a huge slab of chocolate fudge cake.

Honestly.

Wink, wink.
