Also considering riding double decker buses just for the fun of it. Can be longer but usually fewer transfers than tube, less walking and stairs and you see the sights. Underrated value for tourists.

I’ve seen that face and reaction from my mom with dementia. An inability to process what’s happening around them. Can’t shift to deal with something unexpected at all and just waits for someone to direct them.

That’s okay. I fully respect the right of the people to choose. Free and fair elections matter. And in this case I love both songs.
