assorted

Two things from the weekend:

1) On the tube on Saturday, I ended up in sitting the same carriage as two sets of slightly smug parents and their shouty children. One of the Dads encouraged the kiddies to count up to thirteen, which they did, loudly He then got them to count up to thirteen in French. Which they also managed pretty well. He looked pleased with himself. The other Dad said, 'Right - now do it in Klingon.'

2) Piccadilly, Sunday evening: I was sitting in Cafe Nero sipping a coffee. A couple walked past the window with their tiny wee doggie. For reasons unknown, the tiny wee doggie was wearing an outfit. It was a tiny wee nurse's uniform. The owners were probably aiming for 'cute' but ended up with 'sinister' instead. I didn't think it was possible for a chihuahua to look embarrassed. But this one definitely did. The look on its tiny face seemed to say, 'Why am I dressed like this? I'm not qualified.'
