Habits, Weird

OK Andi, I can certainly come up with five weird habits.

Some of the habits I would categorise as "weird" have to do with how superstitious I am. There are what? twelve dimensions? That was the last count. We have no idea what's going on in this world and no idea who's hovering around.

1. I have a dreamcatcher over my bed. If I have a bad dream, in the morning I shake it out the window (no screens in England) and blow on the threads too.

2. The night before I fly anywhere, I write a goodbye letter to my family. I put tons of jokes in it, some gallows humour.

3. I always have a highlighter to hand. I have mini highlighters in every handbag, a dozen highlighters around the flat, three different colours beside the bed.

4. There's a shelf in my hallway. On one spot I pile objects that have to do with my day. If I need some help, I put a personal memento of my dad. If I need to have lots of brain power, I put an amethyst crystal. Crystals are supposed to be helpful. I've certainly been very lucky with them.

5. I have to sit on the top deck in the front row of the bus. We still have red double decker buses here and the best seat in the house is the front seat. Looking at London from high up is as good as a movie. If someone has placed their bag beside them what you do is stand beside them and say really really softly "excuse me" which means "I'd like to sit here" and they make room.

I don't know any bloggers well enough to impose on them by tagging them. When you live in England, proper friendship takes years. Over familiarity before a good foundation is established is not the done thing. I hope this is ok.
