Coming down the home straight - only two more sleeps

The past forty eight hours have gone by in a kind of unbloggable blur... Not totally unbloggable, though!!

I now have new favourite men, the delightful ticket office people at the little station I get the train from to go to work. I've just graduated to needing a season ticket, but because I only needed one for three weeks before the excitements of a two week break, I've been purchasing weekly tickets.

However, because of the inclement weather on Wednesday, I changed coats... forgetting I'd left the weekly ticket in my pocket, as the bus was uncharacteristically prompt! Cue very embarrassing moment on train, as I only had just enough money on me to pay for the day ticket needed.

But, cue happy and excited Japes - I can reclaim it. What's more, in the middle of sorting out the claim form, my bus arrived, (it's only half hourly, as is the train ) the lovely man waved me off to the bus, and promised he'd have it ready and waiting for me in the morning, as he knew he'd see me!! Both of them who work there have been really kind and patient with me in this learning curve of commuting, and especially have not been making me feel bad about reclaiming £6.00.

I change roles again tomorrow, though, they are blurring more and more as time goes by!

I may have more interesting technical vocabulary for you tomorrow, Ian! Friday last week  introduced me to a boutonniere.
