Odd one out

I had dinner with my sister at my local pub last night and was very amused when the woman taking our order asked if we were twins.

Twins!

I seriously thought I was adopted when I was growing up because I looked so different to the rest of the family. They were dark-haired with skin that was receptive to tanning. I had red hair and burned to a crisp the moment I stepped foot outside.

She was cool and sporty. I was weird and uncoordinated.

No one at school thought we looked remotely like sisters, let alone twins.

But, as we’ve grown older we’ve become more alike. We also have very similar voices and mannerisms. People find it difficult to tell us apart on the phone.

Although I’m struggling to find a photo where we look like twins rather than sisters.

Anyhoo … I did not love my first day back in the office yesterday.

Better buy myself more lottery tickets.
