Already its Tuesday... blimey

So forgot to put this up yesterday... Partly because it was so wet and when I got home Cinderlla's fairy godmother had stolen my real wife and replaced her with a cleaning fairy... in a nice way.

The house is immaculate and the floor is quite comfortable, not because of the above comment mind... well not yet!

Moving on, swiftly, to clean the dusty alcoves of my forgetful mind. Yesterday, the park, as I walked past was just so blue instead of sugar frosted.



This morning I saw a lonely person in a snorkel parker, oh how I wish my phone had a decent zoom!



And I must remember to fix the light in my shed, its becoming a bit of a gamble going in and out. Putting things back is also a challenge and somewhat hap-hazard. The holistic approach to thrusting my arm into the dark and relying on gravity to ensure that the tools are put down on something is not the best thing...

The walk to work...

This week has seen the weather turn cold, sharp and the mornings remain clear and bright, Thursday morning was jst dazzling so it was an early start today!



After a very late night last night, we stayed up the watch The Queen. Looked excellent but was a dodgy disk so we put on Deja Vu. Turned out to be a superb thriller and as we didn't realise the oven wasn't working we watched it all before noticing that the bread hadn't cooked by 1.30 in the morning, ho-hum!



So this morning a bright and early start, stopped to take a picture of the park and bugger missed the train! Who expects trains to run on time early on icy morrnings!



I don't know, but I'll say this wearing my mobile duvet a steaming cup of tea and an empty platform is very therapeutic.

Agro of the commute...

Hmm, I'm not down, but amazed that there are a lot of commuters... that is wrong, I'll start again.

Commuters, (or as I typed by mistake a moment ago committers!), fall into two basic categories aggressors and sheep. There are those who stare owl eyed up at the boards waiting for an indication that their train will depart, if at all, if not on time and move in small knots toward the relevant platform. Others who, defy physics by trying to occupy the same space as other commuters.

By that I mean me, the other commuter, positive happy and often smiling. I have had two encounters today with people who thought I was in their regular spot or the exact spot that they would like to stand, sit or perch in!

Amazing, I think that from today I will start to photograph these interesting and challenged souls as examples of scientific interest and sometimes publish them here as examples of eccentric and fascinating behaviour.

Unusually they are not under threat, indeed they are a healthy and growing group of opinionated and robust individuals, I only hope that if two or more of them try to occupy the same space they will cancel each other, with a moist pop .
