I was on the phone yesterday and staring out of the window, when I saw a young woman clad (only) in a pink bath robe and flip flops come out of her house, walk down to the corner of the road, and gesture imperiously to someone at the bus stop.
A young man strolled down to the corner from the stop with all his body language saying ‘this is SO embarrassing’ and followed her back home, a few paces behind.

Why did you find the scene unusual?

I haven’t seen anyone before walk down the street who had obviously just got out of the shower and had just wrapped herself in her bath robe. I suppose what I felt was her vulnerability.

There’s a gamut of projected ideas and thoughts here. You may well see something similar again.

With the mixture of cultures in our streets, what is considered ‘normal’ behaviour in one is not the same as in another.

That will be so. A generational shift might alter things a bit.

I often find it surprising as to how very deeply integrated are certain habits of thinking and behaviour, and don’t change much with the generations. But yes, there’s no doubt the next generation always changes things somewhat!

I thought curlers were bad too, but they are not so prevalent anymore!

If you’re out at some unearthly hour in the dawning and you put top clothes on I can’t see any objection … I have a daughter who used to get out of bed, put her clothes over her pj’s, go to early Communion then go back to bed … makes sense!

A while back the middle age beautiful lady from across the road forgot to put on her robe before before coming out to collect her early morning newspaper. There she was, a sight to behold.

Well well……Did you sit at the window and wait for a while to see what happened?
Doubt whether it was something untoward, more like “there is a spider in my sink!”
