Wednesday 16 March 2016

Today is Wednesday the 16th of March, was on my way to my first university lecture of the day for ten o'clock when I decided to get started with observing my public space as I'm going to be a little early. It is about quarter to 9. A lot of people are walking by, but not in a constant stream. Seems like there are big groups of people and then pauses where only a couple people walk by. Never noticed it before when walking to university but I think the traffic lights before the meadows is causing this.
Most people seem to either be students or office workers walking towards the city center. There is no real way of knowing this apart for judging by attire. Some students are wearing their Edinburgh university hoodie though.
An older man is now walking past. He is taking his two dogs out, they are running around the grassy bit.
Two mothers are now walking past each pushing a pushchair.
I've also noticed a few cyclists passing by on the cycling lane.
In addition, a few joggers are running past every so often.
Looks like someone else is bringing their dog to the meadows, except this time, they've brought one of those big spoon like contraptions for throwing balls. Never understood why you would need one of those. The dog seems happy enough though. The owner is pretending to throw the ball since the dog is always anticipating having to catch the ball.
 Cyclist just almost crashed into someone, swerved out of the way at the last second. The almost victim didn't notice until the last second, was staring at the ground while walking. I've observed most people walking alone have headphones on.
