A long line of woman use the mirrors in the public conveniences for the beautifying of their faces; trowels and mascara litter the surfaces. How they can stomach leaving the house without make-up I can't even begin to imagine, but they're getting in the way of my hand-washing. Beyond the toilets the world is serenaded by the soft piano playing of a couple of youngish tourists. They play the tune from Titanic and, somewhat bizarrely, this makes me smile. I don't like the song, or Celine Dion, but I can see Kate and Leo brazenly flouting the behaviour rules of their time. King and Queen of their sinking ship land. There's a bunch of women here in Costa. I sit here, supping my free {always the best price} latte {skinny hazelnut, of course} and watch them. They gossip. They hog the heating. I wonder if they're here every day or only on a Friday. I wonder if they wonder the same about me. It's unusually busy this morning. Brighter, lighter mornings seem to make people less sluggish, more perky and more enthusiastic to get up. I must get up. I have a bus to catch. Happy Friday!

You do realise there is absolutely no point in a skinny latte if you're going to put sugar-laden hazelnut syrup in it?? Or is that why you go skinny?

My plan is always to ask for a 'small, skinny, sugar-free hazelnut syrup latte, to take away please,' but I always forget the sugar-free syrup bit. *grin*

im no make-up user myself. im prone to pimples when i use cosmetics. plus i have an oily face so it wont make me more pretty. well its not bad when you wear make up, it is when you clutter in public.

I would never quit my house without make-up, this is not something I like to do in public places. I suppose that gossip ladies meet every day, they have so much to talk about and nothing of their business of course.

@Poppylicious I also wear a very little make-up, but I have never put on my make-up in a public places. I have seen women doing this while they are at a red light, using the car mirror, insane!

I wear very little make-up, but still couldn't leave the house without it. The amount some of these women put on, it surprises me that they dare to leave their houses without it!

I'm with you, I don't like to leave home without makeup.
