Thursday has become Official Shopping Day for me, when I get some foodstuffs from M&S. Choices of venue: Walsall, Merry Hill or Birmingham. Today it was Brum.
Although it was only a brief trip, I did find myself having a 20-minute wait for the next train. Instead of waiting on the platform I hung around the station eating a sandwich and people-watching. I haven’t done that for ages. The one thing that struck me was how utterly tense so many people seemed. Much worse than usual, I think. Maybe it was a bad vibe day, or maybe this war stuff is having some weird, pervasive effect. Or maybe it was because I wasn’t tense at all, so for a change it was everyone else. 🙂
