Here is a quite silly story about how transport being unreliable caused me a lot of stress today...

I was leaving work this evening, and as I was leaving I needed to pee. However, my colleague was using the bathroom to get changed and I thought, "I can wait"... Now, my normal journey home is about 35 minutes. I had, however, decided that I would not make my normal journey home today. I would go to slightly-further-away tube station and then take a bus, because this bus would drop me right across the street from my polling station.

Going to bed ahead of the lass buses tomorrow. Had a friend Text and Sau, “Sorry I missed your Birthday! I only realised when i read about it in the Guardian…” What a weird life… Why has autocorrect lost its mind when I’m too tired to notice mistakes?

Had a cheese and onion pastry and lemon muffin for breakfast. Cheese and onion isn’t very breakfasty for my taste, but when in Rome… Two Greggs bags folded on a wooden counter. The toilets in the Leeds bus station are like nothing I’ve ever seen. You have to close the sanitary protection lid to get the to flush. It’s a good idea. But their commitment to sanitation doesn’t continue to the badly-designed sinks. A toilet with a translucent plastic lid that clips down.

Bus socks on! Ready to roll!

I will be delay-tweeting my journey so you’ll see everywhere I go, just after I leave so I don’t get bombarded with route suggestions and, you know, safety and stuff. But time to catch some buses… The bottom of jeans with feet covered in grey socks with red double-deckers buses on then. My first bus driver is TEARING up the road. Hope the bus drivers do this when I have very tight changes later!

Tomorrow is the day I start my journey from London to Scotland via £2 local bus services. I've been wanting to do this for YEARS!! I cannot wait!!! Have just cleared out the file folder I used to organise my transiberian railway journey from years ago to put in the stuff I need for this journey – from one epic journey to the next!
