Bump on Board

I usually get train-tube-train on my way to work and train-train-tube-train on my way home.
Assuming I don't go anywhere else during the day that's seven opportunities to see how nice people are, not that I'm viewing it as an experiment of any kind and keeping score...

Yoghurt and Vegemite if you would good sir, with a spoon.

With black olives and cucumber on top.

Something Blue

Apparently, ancient Romans wore blue as a symbol of love and fidelity. Why is this relevant I hear you ask? Ah, you see 'girl, interrupted' is presently planning the day when she shall become, 'girl, wedded'. (insert smiling here). Being as how I am not a very traditional or, incidentally, rich girl, my frock is what they euphamistically term (they=my marginally more traditional/mainstream girl friends) 'vintage', and blue. It's not silky or poufy or corsetted either; it looks like a pair of curtains was savagely dispatched in order that their hides could elegantly clothe the female form. Which they do, beautifully.
I was, however, becoming slightly unnerved by every picture of every bride everywhere being in a white frock and followed my natural response (question everything) to google, where I discovered that bridal gowns have only been white since Queen Victoria wore one, everyone else was just copying her. The way people go on you'd think it was decreed by god himself, but no, wedding dresses used to be whatever colour your best dress was, or if you were well monied, a nice virginal blue. Yes that's right, blue.
So.
I shant concern myself with that any more, I have plenty of other things that actually need attending to.
