Oddly enough

Proceed at your own risk and refrain from advice comments.

Oddly enough, I think I almost have tears in my eyes. Nobody I love is missing, I did not see Tsuki-San engage in a street showdown with Abu Suleiman (the leader cat in our neighbourhood), and there can’t really be a more pleasant morning than this. I am suddenly sad.

An expert who’s been in town for around six days in all just said goodbye to me and I was touched. They normally leave without getting involved in such personal scenes and voila! – this man actually came to my office and delivered a heart-warming speech about Jordan, life, work, and everything in between.

It must be the element of surprise that drove me into this teary state. I am quite speechless, certainly not entirely speechless but almost there. Now I wish I’d bonded with the kind fellow before he left.
