I had the strangest morning.

Well, my alarm went off as anticipated at 6:40 and I struggled out of bed and into my clothes. It was raining when I made my way towards the corner shop to buy a bus card for the day. I thought with the rain, I would splurge with the £3.00. (Ohhhh)

Anyway, it was after 7:00 but all the shops were still closed. All of them. Nothing was open and it was grey and drizzly which only added to the unsettling feeling. So, I made my way to the bus stop with a £10 note and hope that I get change from the bus driver. The bus driver didn't have change and I thought - 'crap! What am I going to do now? All the shops on Brixton Hill are closed and it is so far to walk in the rain'. But the bus driver said that he would take me two stops and I could get change.

So, he took me nearly to the bottom of Brixton Hill where it is much busier and said, "if you hurry, I will wait for you" - and he did. A bus load of people waited while I ran in the closest shop and got change for my bill. Can you believe it?

Then I went to the gym and worked out, but nothing remarkable there. But on my walk to work, everyone said hi to me. Almost everyone. I figured that I passed about 14 people and 11 of them said something to me. In London?

How strange is that???
