How Do You Do's and Don'ts

The sun is out today, not entirely but enough in bouts for me to venture out with makeup and a smile on my face. I went alloy shopping (it was successful to an extent) and decided to take my dog for a walk. What i realised upon waving to several aquaintances with said smile on my face is generally how much more friendly this county of Britain is.

In comparison to more commerical, built up areas, we're more welcoming upon seeing people we recognise. previously when i've been out in other places with friends and they find themselves in the same situation, their 'hello' is more of a 'yes i recognise your existance but no i don't necessarily enjoy it'. You could almost say with our slow approach to life/technology plus the swaying difference in population means we not only take a more postive approach to acknowledging people we know but treating them like friends, regardless of the fact we know little about them other than the yoga class we once shared or the fact that they too shop in Tesco the day we do, usually, but not always.

Basically, its comforting, easily the only thing i'll miss about this little place asides the questionable fashion sense and even further questionable intelligence of its population, which could give hindsight to their greeting capabilities/preferences.

I've written a whole lot about nothing today, i'm temporarily defined by a quirky haircut that i don't like as of when it was cut yesterday night and another serious bout of yoga.
