And then Chewbacca got on the bus...


Well, it was cold this morning. Very cold. The outdoor temp sensor I have was registering -3oC. Thats pretty bloody cold.
In this seasonally frozen day a few people obviously decided to go for the cozy factor when travelling. An assortment of puffa jackets and solid looking woollens arrived on the bus going in to Glasgow, everyone warm and toasty, the occasional "tisk" when some poor girl got on as she must have though she actually lived in Barbados and Not Scotland and a mini skirt and SANDALS were appropriate. (Keep in mind here that folk were having to scrape their car out from under a glacier). Then the best coat in the planet got on the bus and all attention was diverted. From the title you can probably guess what it looked like. Chewbacca. With curling tongs. It was, simultaniously, the best and worst coat ever. Furry, Large and almost matched the lady's hair, so you weren't quite sure where the coat ended and her head began. Some wag at the back of the bus (Is that a written law that the mouthy witty people go to the back?) started loudly humming the 'star wars' theme. Luckily she couldn't hear him, she had a coat in her ears.

Wow

The planet looked a beautiful place from where I was sitting today. A lovely mist had formed and a golden sun lit everything fantastically. It was one of those days when you think "wow, how lucky am I to see this?"

Did the coat steam, you know, in that 'stinky wet dog on a bus' kind of way?

That would have been cool. But stinky.
