Yet again, my car is dead and at the garage (and going to cost loads and take time to sort), so we're having to use one car between us.
Socks got the bus to work yesterday. It usually takes him about 35 mins to drive there, and about 20 mins to drive back (less traffic!). Yesterday, he left the house at 7.15am, and arrived at work shortly after 9am. He left work at 3pm, and got home at about 5pm.
Socks had the car today, so we decided to go to the nearest post office by bus. It usually takes about 10 mins to drive to the post office, drop parcels in, and get back. Today it took nearly 2 hours.
Tomorrow, I have to go to somewhere different to usual which isn't on a bus route (or at least, not to get there at the time I need to be there), so Socks has to have the day off so I can have the car, because he can't take Alien on the bus to the inlaws to look after her. Well, he probably could, but it would take about 3 or 4 hours to get to in laws house on public transport.
And they wonder why people use their own cars rather than public transport. (Although tbf, we do live in the middle of nowhere!!)
