An adventure!

 

Some days are just eventful in ways that you didn't anticipate when you woke up that morning and while as I write this there is a Bye-Election taking place that most will be holding their breath for today when it comes to the results other things have happened.

Wednesday I went out shopping only to find the bus didn't turn up and attempts via the bus company website to find out what had happened draw a blank as no update had been published.

After a while and with the mysterious appearance of "Plod" in his Police panda car vooming from the opposite direction turning into a cul-de-sac and looking at me for a good thirty odd seconds before going  back in the opposite direction.

Had there been another report to police suggesting I was in some sort of danger was my thought very much after the Christmas incident.

Anyway after twenty odd minutes of waiting I went home for a warm and a drink and went out at 10:15 to catch the 10:27 instead which didn't turn up.

On the other hand I did see the 11:15 coming from where I wished to go on time and knowing after some estate journeys it arrived in the direction I wanted at just before 12:00 pm.

I'd been waiting over three hours for the bus so just what had happened?

After another unplanned for change - pavement work by the bus stop in town of all places - I got to Iceland and discovered the actual problem.

There had been an accident on the road that runs along the bottom half of the town involving a car and a motorcycle  that resulted in person going to our local hospital and the road being closed for a large period of time with very limited traffic being allowed just at the morning rush hour that added to the delays.

I got done what I needed half expecting to get a bus just before two pm back and have something to eat in town as I was just putting some stuff away as I saw a bus coming that was around twenty minutes late - and it was the one I wanted.

That meant a rapid change and eventually I was back not aided by a driver who didn't know the route by 1:20pm and got my dinner sorted after putting things away.

Now that was an adventure!
