Use A Sunny Day To Your Advantage

All  I really can say is that in Melbourne it is getting chillier and greyer but everynow and then, because we still are in the lovely season of Autumn we get scatterings of sunny days.
When one of these occurs I suggest you go outside.
Up, bup, bup! But before you do this you have to put on a 50's influenced outfit. Then I suggest putting on some headphones and then listening to either some old music or retro inspired music that makes you jolly. Also, put on some brightly coloured sunglasses so that you can look directly into the sun and say hello, because it may be the last time you see it for a while.
Then go outside and go for a walk on the High St.
It is physically impossible for you not to be a) grinning and b) somehow infuse some dance-like music into your walking.
What I found rather odd today, is that the more you look like you are having a good time and the more you smile in public, the more frowns you get from the other end. I thought my good mood and sunniness would be infectious, but no. Everyone just had to give me odd looks, rather than smile
I do admit, usually I quite like odd looks. For some reason, they make me feel happy with myself. I think it's my form of a compliment, as long as random strangers on a tram are finding me a bit odd then I'm ok.
I like thinking about my rather odd encounters, but I wonder if others find me as their odd encounter.
