Today I had an odd trip home. While I was on the bus to the station from work my phone rang and the conversation went for quite a while. This meant that I missed my stop (not a disaster as the bus route follows the train route for 3 stations, but it does take longer usually due to the traffic). I arrived two stations down the line 25 minutes after I left work (has taken up to 45 minutes in the past and this was during peak hour). The train was running 8 minutes late, which was a good thing because I would have missed it otherwise, and it was really full. So I sat on the stairs, knowing that I would have to stand up at every station to let people off. BUT the first few stations went by with no-one wanting to get past... then a few more... then all 13 stations between the city and my stop. Where on earth do alll the people who were on the top level of the train live? Well obviously somewhere past my house. It's all a bit suspicious if you ask me. AND to top it all off I made it home in record time despite travelling in peak hour. Strange.
Tonight is my final parish council. Unfortunately my work hours mean that a second term on parish council is impossible. Oh woe is me. I suppose I might be a bit more sad about this if we'd managed to buy the new signs that have been on the agenda for the last four years.
And in case anyone is wondering, this was written on a mobile phone from the back of a camel in that desert in the middle of Australia. The big one...
