I was at the bus stop a little later than planned. I got up on time, even earlier, I just wasn't in a rush. I was thinking about Skegness - what I forgot to write was we saw lots of bunnies on the way up. Then when we went on a trip to pickup a very large water barrel, we practically ran into half a dozen pheasants (PHEASANTS!!!!) at various points. We also saw a barn owl flying (it was about half nine in the evening and still light) and another bird of unknown type.
While thinking about all of this, a bus came up. Normally I take 476 or 73 to get to work. Somehow I failed to notice it was the 76 and not the 476. So I got on. It took me for a lovely (it was sunny when I started although it's going to rain again) tour through liverpool street, moorgate, old street and on towards bank, St. Paul's and finally to Waterloo Bridge. What was amazing was the shops were all open and bustling! At eight in the morning! What fun.
I grabbed the 91 and headed to work. Got there just in time as my supervisor was there only briefly before heading to Holland this week.
I think I may try to take that route more often, although it does mean getting up earlier to take it. It was cutting it a bit close to 9am.
