You know, getting from A to B is mostly tedious. Regular journeys filled with familiar surroundings which we mostly ignore. However you can find your time enlivened with little moments of magic. Here are 3 from the last few days:
1. Whilst walking in the entrance vestibule to London Bridge station, a shoe came hurtling past me and stopped. It was one of those backless, slip-on varieties owned by the dutch or something like that. Not a clog, but probably expensive anyway and it makes the foot look cold. The owner, a 6 foot plus bloke was not far behind it. He slipped it on without bending down and carried on..almost as if he deliberately did it. Just his way of getting through the day.
2. A lady next to me had a tabloid edition of The Times. This is a relatively new idea, just available to Londoners I think. It is meant to be easier to read and handle. You would be forgiven for thinking so though. Wrestling. That's the word. It looked like a screwed up hanky. She folded it this way, then that. Then, with great effort, she tried to fold it over "neatly". I was tempted to ask if she was any good at wrapping presents.
3. I was standing in the part of the carriage by the doors and we arrived at a stop. A seat came free in the middle and this lanky guy rushed to get it. Coming at him from the opposite direction was a much less fleet of foot guy. It was an easy victory for lanky guy. But no. Rather than make it look easy and casual, he tripped on the pointy shoe of the nearest girl, did a 270 degree spin across her lap and landed heavily in the seat, smacking into the girl on the other side. 5.6 with a difficulty of 3.4.
you should have stamped on it.

"all of the them"
