Stepping out

Invention and its well known mother – necessity caused me to venture out on foot over the last two days – the car broke down. Having staggered to the “trusty” garage and secured the loan of another vehicle with which to collect by ailing offspring from the sticks I addressed the task of crossing town to collect said form of transport.

Eventually I settled on the “trusty” train as I happened to know which time it left and that it passed through a station near to my destination. It arrived on time and I settled into listening to my record collection in random order via earphone which kept falling out and playing golf on my mobile phone. Luckily part of my brain was available to hear the train announcer at temple meads who let me know that the trains “passing through” the station I needed was literal. It didn’t stop there.

I hopped out – narrowly avoiding an unwanted visit to a suburban town and a really bad day – to walk to the mile or so to my friends house (earphones falling out as randomly as the tracks were ordered)
