....I live in Dutchland. I live in an apartment in a fairly (or unfairly) well to do neighbourhood. I'm not trying to say that those more well to-do or less so are any more or less inclined to a morning greeting. No sir, or madam. I generally keep myself to myself.
When I was a kid in Reading, in the late 70's/early 80's there was a Polish family living across the road. I probably shouldn't remember much about this/them, but I do. The kids were called Robert and Richard, they were a bit wayward, I don't (nor want or need to) remember their family name (Storey?!), and they had a dark red Vauxhall Viva. I thought this car was awesome. Anyway...that's a billion miles from my point! I keep myself to myself...I don't hide, I just don't talk particularly much to the neighbours.
Just after seeing a scantily clad in-line skater, I was bidden "Good morning!" by a Derge'n! In Inglese! Don't get me wrong, most Derge'ns are talented Inglese speakers, but how did he know?
Maybe he's an Hinglish!
Douglas Adams had a story about biscuits. This story is nothing like that at all.
I would personally just like for that Derge'n to have a great day at woik. Thanks Derge'n!
I bade him a cheery g'morrow too...lucky devil!

...home!
I was approaching my apartment block thinking only of warm and home and sleep and maybe food when I heard amongst the bird song, a swooshing of in-line skates. It was a guy on in-line skates (bear in mind this is about 6 AM) wearing a shocking combination of thong and vest....down the road!...just skating in possibly less than it is humanly possible to wear!
Seemed to be having a great time, to his credit.
Ugh.

...home!
I was only thinking the other day how I've not contributed to this here whatsit for a while...then three come along at once! This is the only similarity it has with buses.
One of the problems with this is that I can't think of the first one. Hmm.
It might actually have had to do with buses.
One, in fact.
Likely a night one.
