Its an…..
Overground day. Late leaving home and London is a little warm today so jumped on the train rather than the tube. Only downside is a girl with verbal diarrhea talking to her friend. She’s going to be on tv today…

Running like an average thing…
A slightly different start to the week, meeting at piccadilly to start the week at 9.30 sports a quick 5k this morning to change up from a 17.2k effort yesterday. Running going good but a bit to do to get…

Finished
So work done for the week and heading home on the tube. I don’t think my boss could have looked more non-plussed if he tried and I think he did try. His was a very downcast face when it was…

Enjoy the journey…
What’s this? No early morning tube journey? I had a meeting this morning in Middlesex that I drove to which not only meant I got a lie in but I missed traffic rush hour and tube rush hour. I am…
The Joy of the Tube…
Mmmmm, the long weekend has been and gone. I am now up an hour earlier, a stone heavier and feel like I need salad for lunch and a pick me up. Back on the tube what do we have?! A…

Seat?
So I start my intrepid journey to work this Wednesday morning a whole half an hour early to get to an 8am meeting on the farside of town. Will it bring an amazing new perspective on my commute? Will I…

Space to breathe
Rolling, rolling, rolling…. Certainly doesn’t feel like the northern line is moving the carriages at speed this morning. A mildly busy train rumbles in. For a change a couple of people actually alight from the train! It is a unique…

Leaner!
Empty carriage? Yes. Acceptable to lean? No. This is public transport. The post is for those standing, the public, all to have access. I feel pre-menstrual about this now, it sums up “me” culture in London. It’s ok for “me”…

Two more days….
So was this week any quicker by celebrating Monday as a day not a sentence?! No, if anything it feels longer. I can remember it more so it has stretched time in my head. Maybe this is the reason our…

Groundhog?
Groundhog day? Same journey to work, same you, nothing ever changes….?! Well that’s a bit depressing, everything changes each day. You change, a new combination of clothes, a new place to squeeze onto the tube, a new hair out of…
Oh sit down
Soo… Second hangover in as many days, this is like being in my thirties again! I promise myself a healthy weekend if I can just make it through Friday…. And I have an 8am meet that I can just see…
Well, well, well

Me. End of work. Delays to district so walk to bank and arrive to a rammed platform. Train arrives, fills, I am at the door but not ON the train when the London Underground flunky announces “next train in 5…

Leaning!
So I am on my way to the tube thinking what shall I spend my 20 mins on the tube writing about? The interconnectivity of thoughts for writing? Life? Death? I ran for the tube as it was at the…
