Things that have made me ponder this week….

1 - I watched a mother and daughter (both able bodied and aged around 30 and 14) wait 10 mins for a bus to complete a journey of 2 stops (less than 2 minutes journey) and less than an 8 minute walk) and then proceed to walk back towards the first bus stop meaning that the 1/3 of a mile bus journey would have been even shorter if it had been walked! I had felt lazy taking the bus for the 4 stop journey (12 minute walk) but qualified it as it was 10.30 at night and it would have meant walking alone in heels down some quiet roads. If I had been with a friend, the question of getting a bus would be laughable.

2 – my quite sensible and proper (but quietly outrageous) mother has decided at the age of almost 60, that she would quite like a tattoo. I don’t even know what I should think about that but am quite amused at how much it would irritate my father.

3 – Whilst I have no time for racists and bigots, I do think the British public need to grow a new sense of humour and perspective. Also they should acquire some new ears in order to listen to the context of every comment rather than jump on the Daily Mail ‘Shock Horror’ bandwagon. Please note that if we are to adhere to this ridiculous state of Political Correctness, I no longer wish to hear the words ‘Yank’, ‘Pom’, ‘Aussie’ or ‘Kiwi’ on the BBC.

4 – I think I have an inappropriate crush on David Cameron. . So long as he doesn’t speak, I definitely would. Oh dear Lord, what have I said.

5 – My crush, however, is nowhere near as big as the one I have on Daniel Craig after catching the final hour of ‘Layer Cake’ on TV last night. Maybe that’s why I woke up in such a good mood this morning.
