A Different Way Home


At 8.34 (ish) the minibus that I drove us to work in would pull up at the red traffic light and Heart FM would play “What about us” by Pink.
            “They always play this song when we get to these lights.”
            It’s impossible to argue with that statement but there are two factors involved here.
1)      You don’t need a watch when you are listening to Heart because their play list is that predictable.
2)      It’s 8.34 (ish) and the minibus that I drive us to work in has pulled up at the red traffic light and Heart FM is playing “What about us” by Pink.

I made a plan.
            Planning is something I’m very good at, it’s the doing I struggle with.
Two weeks to pay day and 1 weeks’ worth of money with the second week as holiday. The option seemed obvious. Buy a train ticket to Bristol and head back to Reading by foot with no cash and no cards. What could possibly go wrong?
The morning of the first day starting badly because I overslept. Not so much overslept but didn’t pack the night before. I also didn’t consider the amount of time I spend delaying taking any action!
5 days later I walked the final 8 miles in heavy rain with blistered feet and a bloody shoulder but I felt great.
           


            That was amazing!

            I’m going to do loads of stuff like this.
            


          The morning(s) on the minibus starting this off. It was a Spring morning and it was a Spring week that I walked.
Over a year ago.







                  
SPRING 2018!

Here’s my plan:
·         If I think “what if?” do it and know “that’s what.”
·         Less planning, more doing. (I appreciate that I’m failing on that because it’s included in my plan.)
So I’m having an adventure (or planning to) so feel free to come along for the ride. If it works it should be interesting and if it doesn’t it will be funny.

I use pen and paper as the means of collecting my thoughts so any advice on the modern computer system would be duly taken (with resentment.)
