Sneaky and Selfish, but im not sure why
Theres a guy on a bus, sitting on the window side, bus stops, people get on. He moves over to the aisle seat and then prepares for action. As people wander up the aisle looking for a seat, this guy pretends he is asleep. Are people really that revolting for him? His making the extra effort to NOT sit next to someone. Clearly a man who looks out only for himself. I don’t know him, but I already don’t like him.
How funny. Page 180 of Bill Brysons Neither here Nor there. When an entourage of eight expecting a reservation finds themselves denied of seatage, waiters start running around, frantic to please, then Bill, being the big guy that he is says “you can have my table, im just going” The manager, is much appreciative of his actions and Bills says “Ive never felt so popular.The waiters beamed and many of the other diners regarded me with , if I say it myself, a certain lasting admiration. Even Aldolfo inclined his head in a tiny display of gratitude and respect. As my table was whipped away, I was escorted to the door by the manager and head waiter who bowed and thanked me and brushed my shoulders with a whisk broom and offered me their daughters hand in marriage or just for some hot sex." haha he elaborates more in the book
So ill be leaving Lyon in 4 days to venture into Ireland, England and Scotland. Wowsers. I never thought id be doing that. From the days of skipping on the bright orange elastic, to skipping through each country for real. For realls baby. Ive no idea what to expect. But im afraid of not being able to understand them even if they speak english cos their thick accents. Il be doing alloottaa nodding!
I bought my 60L packpack today and was met with such friendliness. He told me what I wanted to know, helped me with recommendations, gave me time to think, was not pushy and topped it off in the end when he complimented my French and told me I would get 15% off today. After, I checked out some beanies, and there was this brown one that looked particularly funny, but I made the mistake of looking at the security guard who shook his head at me and immediately i doubted my choice of headgear. After while, I still liked it, but after 99% promising mum I wouldn’t buy any more clothes, I left. Even though secretly, I really really liked it! It looked somewhat like a brown wig with a black underlayer.
Also listened to abit of stuff from The Silents and am a big fan. Check out Things to Learn and Little Girl Lost.
