Good Morning

Old Buses

On Saturday  I took some pics of the old buses at the yearly public transport festival. Loads of bus nerds came out and snapped away. I suppose you could call me a bus nerd. Enjoy.













All aboard the 53 bus.Ding ding.

I purloined the old bus driver to take a photo of me on the bus. He never had used a smartphone before and had a few moments of not knowing how to take a pic with it, and so I coached him, showed him what to do, and then he took quite a perfect shot.

Just Wondering

What was the last song you listened to?

What was the last thing you said to someone?


And now a silly question -
One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren't really doing anything, they're just standing around your bed. What do you do?

Book 47 - Margaret Atwood "Life Before Man"

Margaret Atwood "Life Before Man" (Vintage)




I have to say, this wasn’t my favourite out of the Margaret Atwood books that I have read so far.

The book is told from three perspectives: Elizabeth’s, Nate’s, and Lesje’s (pronounced Lashia).

Elizabeth and Nate are married with two children but don’t have a conventional marriage. Elizabeth has been having very public affairs for years, and it seems like Nate is doing the same.

However, Elizabeth’s most recent lover, Chris, commits suicide, which propels both Elizabeth and Nate to think more deeply about their marriage and affairs.

Lesje works with Elizabeth and seems as if she will be the next one pulled into an affair with Nate.

While I did enjoy reading this story, it was so long. I wanted the book to end sooner, which is never a good thing. Not my favourite Atwood, but not terrible overall. Just an okay read,

Good Night
