No 17

This business of doing the post titles in numerical order is already annoying me. I've already gotten them mixed up once so I had to edit.

Yesterday I noticed my bike tyres/tires (which is the English one? Annoying that I can't remember) were a bit flat. So this morning I left a little earlier to swing by the petrol station and pump the tires in the automatic thingie. And it was BROKEN. And I was so tired.

And there was a man on the train today who talked loudly on the phone non-stop for 25 minutes. In Hindi or other Indian sub-continent language (no, I can't tell them apart, sadly, despite a Pakistani sister-in-law). When it's so foreign it's just white noise (lol) really, you kind of block it out. But then he started repeating a series of numbers in English. "Seven five double-six two four. Double-six. Two. Four. [Hindi Hindi Hindi] seven five double-six... Seven. Seven. Five. Double-six. Two. DOUBLE-SIX. Two. Four. [Hindi Hindi Hindi]"
