Blatherings episode 1

Boring bus rides.

I now think that the bus route I am on, is one of the most boring in the Metropolitan area.

There is a chick that gets on the bus, same stop as me, really skinny, really blonde, wears a black skirt; white blouse and black coat and heels. She reads a book on the bus, and she gets on the same bus at night. She walks really fast in her high heels to the point where I think judging by the wobbling, she is going to fall over and break her ankle. She doesn’t. She gets through one book a week.

The students are boring, they study on the bus.  The old people dress up real nice if they are going to the hospital.  On the way home, we get the couple who obviously go to the gym in the city (there are many) and look hot and sweaty as they get onto the bus, sit on a seat together and canoodle.

The bus driver doesn’t like people swearing, so he tells people to stop swearing if he hears it, or he will throw them off the bus. I don’t know if that is allowed. I don’t think it’s part of the rules, but you never know. He had a broken window on his bus 2 nights ago. Apparently some drunk people threw rocks at the bus.

I have sat in different seats on the bus seeing if I disturb anyone, and it doesn’t seem like it. However, the snogging couple have now chosen the same seat twice, so I will aim for that seat on Monday night and see what happens.

I also had the fun experience of putting together an exercise bike with dad today. He got it from KMart, on special. I was sure that there was some kind of weight limit, but he’s on it, it hasn’t broken, and right now he is working hard at it. Well he quit after 5 minutes :P My turn later tonight when I am talking to MM I think.  Dad has been lecturing me on eating. apparently i am not allowed to be hungry anymore, in fact, if I am hungry, must drink water instead, and eat some nuts! lucky me! Ah the things I have to do now that I live at home.

      I think the driver does have the right to throw someone off for swearing. Swearing in public, to the best of my knowledge is still an offence ‘Abusive language’ is the term but I may be wrong. I hate it when young kids get on the bus and swear every second word especially in front of older people…it gets my hackles up and I am usually the one that gives them a lecture…I do the same to people that talk on their mobiles or just talk at the movies lol I’m anal like that :)

      Hey, but five minutes today is ten minutes tomorrow! Right?

      Scorpy: I have to wonder, i just tune out and let people talk. I find the explicit language generally is a tool of the masses. Mind you, we all know Steph swears like a trooper, and she is no tool! I hope.

      Snay: totally. in fact, dad cycled for 35 minutes today. I on the otherhand, went out and had coffee, and a wicked banana split with cream and icecream. MmmmMMmmm

      oh dear. The joy of moving home….and the endless loving running commentary on subjects from what you eat to the way you hang out the clothes on the washing line.

      -F-

      I tried that drinking water instead of eating - all it got me was sleepless nights as i kept getting up to go to the toilet. Now i am fat, happy and getting a full nights sleep!
