Its been a strange day, my excitement at Bank station being opened was short lived as it was closed today (signal failures) resulting in a very frustrating commute.
We stopped at every DLR station with the driver giving us an "update" even though there was technically no update to the situation it was still taking us 25 minutes to move 2 stops and Bank was still closed. Although the driver did have a very pleasant voice.
So it was DLR to Poplar, Poplar to Canary Wharf, Jubilee to Westminster, District to South Kensington with the District line being delayed owing to a defective train, some people might say that this is a sign that I should've stayed in bed!
The day itself was average, no major drama's to report, looking forward to making some jewellery this weekend! I did have a bit of a chuckle at a conversation I overheard today, two ladies discussing the "new man" and how she loves him so much but has to take him shopping as "his clothes are...well I just have to take him shopping", and "we're booked in to get his hair cut tomorrow" and "then we have an appointment next week at the gym" and "once all that's done we are off to the South of France to meet my parents" what is he your boyfriend or your pet?
Suddenly my awful commute isn't that bad, it could be worse, I could be that woman's boyfriend! When we meet a new significant other, we tend to see which boxes they tick and then accept the flaws that make them who they are and why we love them but there is an alarming trend of accepting which boxes are ticked and then trying to change the "bits" we don't like - it will all end in tears! Unless he is of course happy to be her pet in which case I wish them well.
Take care
Claire
