March 17, 18, 19 2014 'quiet days'

Today's chronicle is to report that we have had quiet days so far this week. On mornings many of the regulars are absent and Comp has not been up to her usual antics, so there has been nothing exceptional to report.

 Monday morning we met little Jamilla and her mother at the stop. The baby seems enthused with Comp and has been giving her some of the sweetest smiles. I sense that the long buried (or maybe now arisen) maternal instinct has been stirred, so please protect your infants when she is present.

The friendships being developed are however getting stronger. Rosemary (AC) is becoming a true friend and we have been having interactions outside of the bus encounters. Bdd has moved from being hostile to using respectful titles, such as Auntie and R2L is so comfortable with us that she now says which days are her off days and when we can expect to see her.

It is now confirmed, our preferred seating is now only a matter of luck and chance. The first row right is mostly taken by row2.1 and so like the regular passengers, we have to take a seat where one is available, mainly however in the first two or three rows. For the last two days we were fortunate to spot the aquamarine as we turn the Long Bay corner, Comp no longer mistakes it for the garbage cans and is correctly identifying NC. Also, since the black plastic bag has been depleted, we have not had the mint ritual for 2 days. Today, we were only able to retrieve the remnants , so that the last three were shared with the triumvirate. 

The bus impact has also spilled off the bus. I have been telling the girls in my office of some of the occurrences on the bus and they seem truly impressed. One sees it as an example of practical Christianity and the other as a good way to make friends. Today, I was given a donation of mints by one of the girls to replenish the exhausted stock. This I will make sure to pass on to Ms. Scrooge for safekeeping and distribution. 

Finally,  Monday, an idea came to mind, which is now being investigated and developed. This project would be of great benefit to commuters leaving from Well House and will be good exposure for the chuch in the community.  We're hoping it materialises and know it will be a tangible reminder of the influence of the bus chronicles.
