I had two days off, so I took care of errands Wednesday and Thursday, and went to a San Francisco Giants baseball game last night.
I actually caught a batting practice baseball, which is always exciting, even at my age, but I...

While on top of the seawall overlooking the beach, I caught a glimpse of this family enjoying the sea with the early morning sun. A scene like this is a joy to watch. Other kids were enjoying the summer sun and sea too and the...

I'm cradling my skinny latte {to take-away, not to-go} in Costa, as I await a more suitable time to walk down the road to meet Toddler Niece. It's terribly busy for this time of day.
Who are these people?
I'm curious. Seemingly...

I see lights on in your house. I think you must be awake.
What are you doing?
Maybe you're reading in bed, comforting your poorly child or choosing which bra goes best with the top you want to wear today. Oh no! Don't you...

I was idly wasting time on the loo this morning, pondering why it is that I wasn’t keen to jump out of bed and seize the day the moment my alarm sang in my ear. Then I remembered. The Only Woman to EVER Give Birth graces us...

I am watching people from the safety of the bus. We're going through the middle of the city on a Friday in rush hour. It's a slow process. There must have been an accident somewhere because already we've been passed by a police...

My teapot only contained enough water for one and a half cups of tea. I should probably complain, but I shan't as I've been hogging this seat for nearly an hour now. I have a mouthful left. It's cold. How long can I make it...

I like looking at people who are waiting for buses. Maybe that makes me weird.
There are those who don't need one bus which is trundling by. Some cheerfully shake their heads to let the driver know they don't need him to stop....

I'm currently in Costa, drinking tea and waiting for the shops to open. I will wander through this quaint historic town and visit the swans and ducks by the river, before catching a bus into the city and meeting my friends for...

My fingers are freezing. I'm quite sure they're becoming bitten by frost, but I want to make use of the station's free weefee so I'm sacrificing being warm and cosy for being excruciatingly cold.
I had a woe is me moment upon...

You stink.
No, not you ... you there. Yes, you over there. Don't look around, I mean you. Red top, open book ... yes. You.
I dont mean to be rude, but you stink.
Oi, Lady halfway up the bus! Please, if I wanted to know what...

Tediosity.
Is that a word? It should be a word. It might be a word. But what does it mean? Does it have the same meaning, or a derivative meaning, of the word tedious? Or am I just insanely rambling about nothing.
I am being...

Elliot has a jumper. It's his most favourite jumper in the whole wide world. Elliot wants to wear his jumper. He stamps his feet and cries real tears. His Mummy is a big fat meanie.
[i]No, Elliot. No! You can't wear your jumper;...

When I ordered my skinny hazelnut latte I definitely asked for it to drink in. They made it up in a take-away disposable {but not recyclable, Costa ... shame on you} cup and now I'm sitting here, enjoying the ambience whilst one...

It's August, it's raining, and the bus is nowhere near as full as it is during term-time.
I am on said bus, watching people, listening to their morning conversations and wondering just why it was that the BBC saw fit to confuse...

When the weather turns warm everybody seems to come out of hibernation.
As an example, the fairweather cyclist. He refuses to brave the cold, wet, dull days of winter but has the lycra ready for pulling on when the sun...

It was this photo that led me to hang out with my 7-year-old neighbor buddy last weekend. He caught me taking the picture and said, "Hey, are you taking our picture"?
What led me to take the picture was that there was a lot going...

I was just at the Chevron station near my house. It's on a main thoroughfare between some nice neighborhoods and some not so nice neighborhoods. You see all sorts of people there.
This evening, there was a woman in front of me in...

At my favorite table, sipping cooling tea. It's gloomy outside. Most of the regulars are here.
W., who likes to lecture on politics (wants a single payor system for healthcare and supports Bernie Sanders. Good, if...
