The Seagull Lady Again
The Seagull Lady was out and about today in a home made outfit consisting of cow print trousers and tunic. She was pushing a shopping trolley, but when she stopped me for a chat it is fortunate that what she pulled from the trolley to show me was not an animal corpse but a steam iron newly purchased from Argos.
Later I saw a man I know who teaches at the university. He'd just seen the Seagull Lady, and she'd told him that I hadn't liked her new iron. I had, she claimed, said it reminded me of a sports car. I had said no such thing, nor even thought it.
The real tragedy is that I haven't made this up. Aberystwyth is like this. Meaningless conversations involving bizarre people are normal, and normal never happens.

Sounds like you're becoming overwhelmed by Aberystwyth quirkiness. Makes a great read from a safe distance though. 
Maybe one morning, you'll wake and find a large hole where your letterbox used to be and an iron lying on top of the morning paper?
