Something funny happened to Dave and me today. We were taking the bus to the Senate House Library, which is the main library for the University of London, to do some research for papers we have to write. Halfway through the trip, we heard a bell ring for a stop, followed by a shrill British voice, “Excuse me, I’ve requested a stop!” After a few more quick bell rings, the lady became a bit more animated, swearing under her breath and once again yelling at the bus driver, “Excuse me, I’ve requested a stop!” She was with two or three kids, and her five-year old boy yelled to help out his mum, “Excuse me, we’ve requested a stop!” They both asserted their position a couple more times before the bus finally stopped. The woman was very angry when they finally got off the bus and went up to the driver to give him a piece of her mind, which she did with some arm flailing and some choice new words for her kids to learn. It was funny. And sad.
Here's a nice heart for Valentine's Day. I made it with two orange peels and a Babybel cheese wrapper. This is the type of gift which fits in the category "It's creative, which justifies its ugliness/worthlessness." Enjoy!
