Oh, the joys of city life (2)
Spent about half an hour mending Tertia’s bike tire in front of the house.
Greeted by 2 acquaintances and 5 complete strangers who passed on foot or on bikes.
Talked to 1 neighbour (a nice old lady) when she came back from shopping.
Dragged bike out of the way of 1 delivery lorry.
Accepted mail from 1 postman who was confident that the woman in the road belonged with the open door behind her.
Asked 1 young man not to throw his cigarette end on the ground practically at my feet. Young man’s friend agreed with me and kicked it in a grating.
Declined 2 offers of help, one of them very sexist.
Showed 1 person the way to somewhere just around the corner, but hard to find. Helped 2 pairs of tourists with their maps (we live in a very confusing spot because all the road signs seem to say different things).
Got a screwdriver to fix my own bike light, but of course Tertia went to school on my bike this morning so I couldn’t.
