I've had a turmultuous time more recently. I mentioned decorating but didn't mention losing my wallet at the same time my car was in for repair. Unfortunately I left it on a bus and was 20 miles from home at the time. I was left standing, an idiot in the street, a peniless pedestrian watching the bus with my wallet sitting on a seat, disappear round a corner and away. Fortunately it was handed in, after I'd cancelled my card and I collected it a few days later. The sense of helplessness and hopelessness were a shock. I had my drivers license, car insurance, Tesco clubcard, Costa card, English Heritage membership card and various other offers and points card things that I use most days, not to mention the pain in having to stand in the bank to explain what a moron I am and please can I have some of my money.
Prior to this, I had to get the bus to and from work as my car was in repair. Getting to work was a pleasant experience, I dozed on the bus, not having to concentrate on the road. Getting home didn't go quite to plan. I arrived at the bus stop with plenty of time to spare so I popped over the road to the Costa who took so long making my coffee that I missed the bus. I took a sip of the coffee and it was awful. As my mood was now foul, I stomped back into Costa, right to the front of the line and thumped the cup on the counter saying " Sorry mate, this coffee is unpalatable, I can't drink it."
The replacement wasn't much better. Give the Milton Keynes Train Station Costa a miss.
I heard in the news that a woman in Iran, blinded by a man whom she turned down for marriage has been given the option of retributional justice, as is the way in Iran, literally an eye for an eye. She was blinded when the man threw acid in her face and the sentence will be carried out by a doctor who will drip acid into the man's eyes. It all sounds quite Barbaric except that it is a law that if implemented properly and strictly, could act as a great deterrent. A murderer is killed, a thief loses everything and a rapist.........I think we may see a drop in sexual assaults. It would make for an historic CV, current employer: Government. Job title : State sponsored rapist or you could make it something funky like Penetrative Judicial Overseer, A few others did spring to mind but decorum is key!
Anyway, onwards and upwards, Summer is here and photographs to be taken.
