I've just got on a bus. Well, I did about 5 minutes ago but the driver has been told to wait for a few minutes to even out the service. Time is passing slowly while the scenery isn't.

Reminds me of then I lived in Devon and the bus between Taunton and Wellington was advertised as a 15 minute service, which it was, on average, by which I mean four turned up every hour, often in groups...

Still not moved. Another 177 has caught up and overtaken us!
Update, we're moving but the bus has decided to terminate early. Grrr!

Like the time I stewed apples in a pressure cooker and unwisely took the weight off the lid too early. Nothing landed on the hob but the contents spread across the kitchen ceiling.
Many years ago I rented a bedsit, came home one Saturday afternoon to find the whole house smoke logged, the landlord had come back from the pub and filled the pressure cooker with meat then put it on the stove and gone into the front room then fell asleep in front of the TV, as it vented through the the safety valve it filled the place with steam and smoke, I had to call out the fire brigade.
My fish are now on their (permanent) holidays at Billing Aquarium..
The tank is heading for the tip as the ♻ Bin is the wrong place for it.
Once I'd emptied the water & gravel I found that the base plate had cracked! Quite lucky that it dripped, not kersplooshed everywhere!!

I never knew a bus pass could be so much fun!
They can be great fun
. We have a car but now my Good Lady's in a wheelchair she can't get in it so we use the bus, our local buses have a ramp and a wheelchair space so I can just wheel her on. But they sometimes get their sequences cocked up leading to them pulling up at a stop and waiting or the driver driving like he's trying to set a pole lap, we've had it sometimes where we've been made to swap buses mid journey. We've also had to swap buses because the bus has broken down or one of the passengers has been taken ill.

Well, we overtook the 177 that had overtaken us and then a third 177 bus arrived from somewhere unknown, the 177 I was on changed its terminating stop for a third time and we were directed onto the 177 we'd just overtaken. But this bus was jam packed so I ended up walking half the way home anyway. I did see the bus I was on later on though. It was in the car park outside Sainsbury's. The 177 doesn't go there.

When I had my eye done I was off work for a month, unable to rude or swim, so I walked for miles then bussed back..
A mate was off work for several months, recovering from a nasty throat op, and he was so bored that he just bus hopped all day to see what he could see. Great use of the Free Pass, I reckon 👍

When I were a lad, living in London, the 160 was our local bus route from Eltham Park. It was possibly the worst service Sarf of the River!
It was so late that you were never sure if it was yesterday's bus or the missing one from the day before that

No more fishies!
It's been interesting observing our five year old granddaughter over the last year or so. She likes colouring, and is starting to copy letters of the alphabet as she learns to write. She started using her left hand, then switched to her right for a while, she now seems to be favouring her left hand. Be interesting to see which hand eventually becomes dominant.
