Left paddling one's own canoe/ left in a lurch
Hi
Would you say that both of these sentences carry the same meaning?
I was left paddling my own canoe. Sam wasn't with me again.
I was left in a lurch. Sam wasn't with me again.
...and I think this one too.
I was pretty much left to my own devices. Sam wasn't with me again.
Thanks,
Tom
