tales from an ordinary world

Picture this : there's a student on the morning tram with her textbook on C Programming. A heap of those coloured tape flags hanging out the side of it marking hopefully important sections. She's got the book open, trying to read, but can't help idly staring out the window instead. Watching the world go by is generally a much more pleasant option.

Tanya, our friendly waitress at the Bluestone, pretended to be enthralled in my story of spending my weekend waiting for and marvelling at the new washing machine. The three of us swapped washing machine stories for a while. It's an odd life.
