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…

Tired
Week starting quite well. It does make me wonder if anything untoward is lurking round the corner… Trying a new combination of moleskin trousers and my trusty blue jacket this morning. So daring. It does make me think, “does this…

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…

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…

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
Three holes in the ground! On the way to see an old friend from Australia in Covent Garden for a drink after work. Minor delays on the district and have a seat but as I found this morning this is…

On the road again… Well the tube anyway
So writing is therapeutic, it must be, in the space of time it has taken to tap four words into my phone I already feel much better than I did at the start…. I was going to begin writing a…
Tuesday, Tuesday
Busy Clapham North this morning for 6.45. A mixed bunch of society for sure. Charing Cross train first so decide to wait for the Bank option so I don’t need to change. Seats are abundant, what will the Bank option…

And the winner is….
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…

Leaning…!
Amazing, London bridge, usual pile on, four people holding on to central pole and…. A woman/girl gets on and leans against post! Then pulls out an iPad mini and begins tapping away. I am one of the hangers on considering…
Post leaner
Another day another post leaner, post vacated after one stop when seat became available. What is this? Symptom of a selfish society or just an accepted incursion for the first to the post until a one legged passenger in need…
On the road again….
Back on the tube, am determined to ignore the outside world and plough ahead withy own agenda rather than any thrust upon me. The Evening Standard headline on the stairs of the tube read “Pistorius planned lover’s murder” If he…
Tube again…
So it appears the majority of my posts will be coming from time spent on the tube as it is the little cocoon that affords some time to tap away. On before 7 this morning but it seems there must…
Tube
So the second opportunity to note something down is traveling home on the tube. Able to get on first train at bank which isn’t always the case, not too crowded thankfully. That is apart from the girl leaning on the…
