Mundanity

Funny how the human species are the most populated and yet millions are lonely.

I was on one of the strange buses - the imported Japanese ones which are a weird layout - tall and narrow with few seats.  The seats are on different levels and some seats face forward and some face back.  Everyone basically has a great view of all the other passengers and there they all are resolutely avoiding each others' eyes.  It's so funny and yet so sad.  How uncomfortable people feel when they have to sit facing each other.  We'd all rather sit forward near a window and stare out at a world that passes us by.

That since I wrote about giving the dog a walk every day that it's been raining the whole friggin time?  When the weather is fine, I'm at work.

So, I look outside at the cold dampness.  I can see it's still raining, although lightly now.  It's dismal.

The sky is the colour of concrete (hmm that's on a song by somebody - she must have lived in NZ haha).  New Zealand or Aotearoa - land of the long white cloud - nope, it's land of the long grey cloud.  Blue sky is rare.  And it's depressing.
