Late again!

Okay, I know, I'm rubbish at keeping this blog updated.  Anyway, this week is half term and I can't tell you how wonderful it was to wake up this morning at 10am!!!  Pure unadulterated bliss and as I write this entry, I'm still in my pyjamas!!!  However, this is just a quick update as I want to go and see the Street Photography exhibition at the Museum of London today.  EleBoo is just great at the moment, I'm constantly grateful for all the wonderful comments I get regarding my photos and the sales are still (slowly) trickling in (I am, like the rest of the market traders, praying for an economic turnaround soon, especially as the stall rent is increasing soon!).  If anyone out there knows how I can get my hands on a business start-up grant, I would be grateful, I've spent hours looking to no avail!!  So, before I sign off, I just want to ask the question as to why people think that it's acceptable to tell a whole bus-full of people all about their life intracacies.  I mean in the space of a week, I've listened to a guy on his way home from court, talking about all the unsavoury things that he done and how he'd "gotten away" with a five-year suspended sentence, then there was the guy speaking to his wife, who then decided to put her on speakerphone so that he didn't have to hold the phone anymore!!  However, the most incredible was the guy on the 69 bus the other night, who wanted to tell the person he was speaking to that he was running late.  He started by saying that he was at Leyton station and asked how long it would take from there to get to his destination.  The person either didn't hear him or became instantly unable to understand the English language, as he then proceeded to repeat his location over and over again.  Ley-ton station, I'm at Leyton, I'm at LEYTON station, I kid you not, he said it about 20 times, everyone on the top deck, was laughing by this point, he then said "Can't you hear me?"  To which I said, "Obviously not!!!"  The guy then realised that everyone was laughing at the ridiculous conversation he was having and then he said "I'll send you a text".  Why he didn't just do that in the first place, is anyone's guess!!!  See you soon x
