I think I'm on The Truman Show

Every morning I take a 10-minute walk from my front door to my bus stop. During that walk I will see (and in this particular order):

1) A skinny woman muffled up like a mummy, walking a skinny nervous black dog.

2) A kid on a bike, delivering papers.

3) A man who takes a walk around the block, then goes into a nearby house and emerges with an enormous and arthriticky golden retriever.

4) The retriever, who wees on the same spot every morning.

5) A beat up black station wagon.

6) My bus arriving.

Hmmm. In case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.

Groundhog Day, surely? As I commented yesterday, and the day before.

But...I'm scared of Bill Murray. I'd rather be on The Truman Show.

I have had something similar. It was fine till the 'friendly' guy decided to propose one morning...


I just stared at him for a second then walked away quickly! After that it was a bit awkward in the morning, trying not to make eye contact with him. Haven't seen him recently, he must have moved away, phew!

Oh, I really hope that the deleted comment was yours, Liz. I like to imagine that you posted the same response twice. If so, you should've let it stood, as a real Groundhog Day moment.

I'm having some of these occasionally.

I'm going to start sucking my thumb in despair any moment now.
