People I’ve seen today
In Jenners to buy some chocs as Xmas gifts. I was served by a Chinese woman, possibly Japanese, who was wearing a name tag which informed me her name was Mei. I didn’t quite have the nerve to ask her about her name although I was interested.
On the 31 bus there was a woman reading Virginia Woolf’s, Mrs Dalloway. A few stops later a much younger woman was seated beside her who was busy with her mobile phone, making great use of her opposable thumb. Reading doesn’t seem the correct verb to use in connection with the mobile phone, it’s too frantic an activity.
Nothing odd about seeing someone working their mobile as they make their way home on the bus. After yesterday’s entry on Perec’s thoughts about reading on the bus it did strike me as odd to see someone on a LothianBuses bus reading literature.
