coincidence?

Yesterday, I made the trip to the kids school in just under an hour. (It’s around 40 something miles, to give you some context). I then travelled 4/5 of the next journey (about 4 miles) in under ten minutes, and the last fraction took me 40 minutes 🙁

I arrived at work fuming gently – the reason for the hold up was two lorries that had bumped at a junction, and then been abandoned partially blocking the road. There was plenty of room for little cars like mine to get through, but the other lorries that use that road were struggling, and a road sign was taking the brunt of it.

Heading into the kitchen for coffee, I picked up a book of poetry from the table, and opened it at random.

“What is this life if full of care we have no time to stop and stare?”

Hm. Yes, well.

And on the way home we had another 20 minutes stuck on the M1. Fortunately today I’m working from home. (And on my lunch just now 😉 )

While I’m here, I’d like to congratulate Jenn of lactivist fame, who has had her second baby 🙂
