Here we go again...

Fun start to the day… travelling up to Heathrow this morning for work. Case packed, uniform ironed and ready and everything else prepped for my commute the night before. Alarm went off on time and I was showered and dressed with time to spare. Checked the bus app to discover that the 0527 bus I had planned on getting to the Old Steine had mysteriously disappeared leaving me with my ‘back up’ bus that would get me there with six minutes to dash to the coach station. I thought as I was ready I might as well make my way to the bus stop and as I walk up our street to the bus stop I see the 0527 bus which I had originally planned on getting pull up at the bus stop. I usually make a point of NOT running for a bus as one is grown, however all pride went out of the window and as there was no one looking I figured out I had nothing to lose and legged it towards to the bus stop where the driver (who I’m convinced saw me dragging my wheelie case in his direction) then drove off leaving me with a twenty minute wait and a face like thunder.

I kept myself amused updating my other pages and eventually my back up bus appeared as scheduled. The twenty five minute journey went smoothly apart from one (there’s always one!) passenger asking 101 questions off the driver and potentially cutting down my six minute window. As we approached the Old Steine I saw a National Express coach manoeuvring around the roundabout and I immediately thought “Shoot, that’s it! Now I have to go get the train!” but it turned out it was just arriving and was boarding as I rocked up to it. Phew!!!

Now time to snooze. Catch y’all later.
