When Murphy's law strikes
I've always been a great believer in karma, this morning it struck with full force! the one day I decided to get my gortex water proof jacket cleaned, It absolutely chucks it down. I guess its god's way of punishing me for the banana and chocolate pancake I knocked up half way through the A team last night (yes it was absolutely heavenly), and in my defence all ingredients had to be used; I hate wastage! I thank Raz for the loan of her banana.
Still, It forced me to run the distance from London Bridge to the little Pret in Aldgate to meet Auntie, so I guess me and the big man are even now.
With Karma restored I had a lovely lunch with Auntie, with only a few wasted calories from the 2 packets of crisps, 1 bag of sweet potato the other roasted root vegetables, after a critical trial we came to a joint conclusion the sweet potato crisps were tasteless and were like chewing cheap brittle plastic.
Lunch over and procrastinating ended I started work on my Holocaust work due in for next week! after 30 minutes I noticed that some jewish men in traditional dress had sat within viewing distance of my literature so decided it was time to finally write some thank you cards before it was too late!
Its rather amazing how times flies as some one I am very much looking forward to meeting contacted reminding me about our plans and I agreed on a time leaving a window of just 7 minutes to get to my train, Like Jason Born I dashed through the station, (just without the guns and baddies, also having to stop for my young persons ticket, looking like a drowned like a rat)
have reached train and must remember to pick up some mints to chew to counter the horrible crisps. Luckily for me a french family have managed to sit next to me cramming me into a tiny corner with their baggage on my leg and have placed their screaming child next to me. Still I can smile knowing that I've been charged more for this journey than last year with hope that by 2015 it will be margining nicer.
and yes, women in the overcoat I can see you reading over my shoulder; my blog is available online if you wish to read on as I am closely approaching my station,
James
