Waiting

Highbury roundabout is at a stand still. Traffic queues to get onto Holloway Road tailing back so traffic has to queue to get off Upper Street which blocks the traffic coming round from Balls Pond Road and Cannonbury Road. People are streaming past the windows of Starbucks in both directions. And, as happens suprising often in this massive city, a colleague strolls by wth his boyfriend (even though I'm no longer in the neighbourhood of work). Familiar people out of context - how come we so often see people we know out of the 10 million or so that live here? Waiting for people is often like this.
