So Much For A Relaxing Day Off!!

[debris4spike]

I am not meant to be working a full week to allow my leg time to heal ... so my Wednesdays are days to do assorted things.

Yesterday I had a frustrating day. First I wanted to go to my large supermarket, which is now too far away to walk to ... so bus. Great ... I got to the bus stop to find a man fuming as it had come on his app that the bus was cancelled. So half hour wait ... I got out my Kindle and settled down. About 10 mins later the man is angry ... the next bus is cancelled. As he said this I saw a bus approaching the opposite bus stop going into the city. One of the things I wanted to get I knew I could pick up there ... so OK, change of plans. When I got there there was a diversion so a longer walk, but fine ... nice and dry. And, so, shopping done, and home.

After lunch I needed to post Nick's parcel and drop off Claire's ... Back to the bus stop to find I had just missed one and had a half hour wait for the next, so decided to walk. Was I aching by the time I got there. Parcel sent, and round to Tim & Claire's ... Tim was working from home as it turned out, so nice to have a 5 minute chat with him, and actually got the feeling back in the leg before the walk home. After the walk I felt really positive again.

That is until the company that I work for rang me to book my training ... most is on-line but some is face to face. I managed to put off booking one of the trainings ... but I don't know how long I can get away with that. So annoying ... one of the courses has to be in a classroom ... I have a choice of venues ... London or Manchester. It took me all my time not to hang up on them at that point!

So after that plans to check in on LJ went out the window ... my book, then an episode of Stargate Atlantis (hence the icon)& my jigsaw called.

In the evening I did see a fascinating documentary on the Aztecs ... and for anyone who has read/heard "Changes" in the Dresden Files it really brought that section of the story more to life.

Now today, I have done some housework and off to work soon. But before that -




28. Have you ever played a kazoo?
No - Tim had one, but I never played it.

29. It's Tom Sellek's birthday - have you ever seen him in anything you've enjoyed?
I don't always automatically recognise the actor's names ... but Three Men and a Baby/Little Lady are a fun watch




Right, that's me up to date

Have a fun day everyone

That's a long way for you to go for training! Can you get away with saying your leg isn't well enough for that kind of long journey?

[debris4spike]

Hee - the only reason she didn't insist on booking it there and then was as I pushed the leg injury. But, she has said she will get back to me ... I shall have to see how long I can delay it!

Your transit system sounds like it is becoming almost as unreliable as hours. I really hope that was just a one-day glitch. I think half-hour waits are just too long these days. How will people feel transit is worth taking if it’s faster to go any other way?

Yes, it's frustrating. They ask us to use public transport to reduce the carbon footprint, then don't have regular buses .... annoying, especially while I can't drive

Nope and just the old Magnum PI series

Oh, I forgot Magnum - yes, I used to dip in and out of that
