So this morning some of the usual suspects were present on the bus; Lady with Orange Hair for one. This lady used to have grey hair and obviously decided she was bored with it, so much that one day she got on the bus with hair that was the most startling shade of orange I feared for my corneas. It wasn't altogether unpleasant, I just wished she had warned us all the day before.
Man Who Smells of Poo was missing although not missed, especially as he almost always chooses the seat next to me and I have to hold my breath or turn away, feigning interest in the sights out of the window; I believe good manners are extremely important, and although not washing is pretty much considered bad manners in my book, I feel that my being sick on public transport would also be considered bad manners. It's good training for if I ever decide to become a free diver I'm sure.
Talking of diving, this leads me on to a tv programme I was watching recently, about sharks attacking people, a gruesome but interesting subject. A most unfortunate lady was recounting the tale of swimming off the coast of Florida when something grabbed her, shook her around like a rag doll and proceeded to take a considerable bite out of her leg. Luckily she lived to tell her story, and the shark expert decided that the shark in question was most likely a Bull Shark of about 16-17 feet in length. I immediately got out my tape measure and measured our living room to be 18 feet long, then I scared myself by imagining swimming in the sea when a creature almost as long as the sitting room came up and attached itself to my leg via its viciously sharp teeth.........
So to cheer myself up today's photo will not be of blood stained swimmers, but of the chrome life size T Rex which artist Philippe Pasqua has installed in Paris. I LOVE this and would very much like it if he installed something similar in my garden.
