- go and have a lovely holiday on a Scottish island, get friendly help from total strangers, and get in the habit of smiling and acknowledging everyone I passed (I say lovely holiday because I was consequently in a good/happy mood)
- return to southampton via rush-hour London (yay sleeper trains) and find myself on busy trains with this attitude of smiling/nodding at people and finding that they were all stonewalling like I (and everyone else) were so many trees, and quickly back off into doing the same myself
- shortly after that read about the monkeysphere
so I guess I fed the monkeysphere thing straight into my recent experiences. it's still stuck with me though. i also think of it when my sweet gentle sister is swearing at the other drivers down the motorway...
