There I was minding my own business walking my son to nursery this morning and out of nowhere I had the warmest feeling of contentment wash over me.
Where it came from I'm not exactly sure (given my recent frame of mind) but I had a sneaky suspicion it was something to do with the smell of autumn lingering 'in the air' and the dark mornings that have suddenly thrust themselves upon us. I love this time of year because it's the lead up to the hustle and bustle of Halloween, Bonfire Night and the Piste De Resistance of them all: The christmas Holiday's.
So while I was languishing in this rare feeling of well being I dropped my son off and headed for the bus stop ready to go to work.
Now recently I have befriended a girl while waiting for said bus and we were chatting about how our respective weekends had gone when she says to me " I feel a little faint can you sit next to me?" I said "no problem". The bus arrives, we get on, as I turn around this girl had started to shake so I grabbed hold of her and guided her to the nearest available seat but she collasped before I could get her to one.
Now what astounded me was the lack of support from other passengers on the bus and sheeer ignorance of what had just happened. How the hell on earth in a confined space such as a bus can you turn a blind eye to a girl fainting and not offer to help is beyond me!! I managed to pick this girl up, get her seated and calm her down.
She only worked 15 minutes away from my building so I got off at her stop and walked her to work and then got on my merry way to my own 9-5 job. I hope she's alright it's not nice fainting let alone in public on the bus!
