its funny how there's walking etiquette. (for early morning walks) it's a well known fact that you at least acknowledge your fellow walkers - "good morning" "morning" "hello" "hi" a smile and eye contact. it tends to be similar for evening walking too. but middle of the day 'normal' walking it's totally different - head down with no eye contact. strange. but it's also funny in the mornings when walkers aren't heaps keen to acknowledge other people. and i always feel discouraged by people not saying hello, especially if i've already said it - makes you feel pretty stupid. but there's these three people i always see, and always get a lovely greeting from. and two of those people (a couple) i've started forming a bit of a relationship with. like this morning - coz i haven't been out early much yet this year - the maureen's husband was plenty chatty noting my absence recently, and telling me about his dogs. people can be so friendly. and that makes me go yay.
