Today
featured an even earlier start than usual; I was up and shaving at
5am. A quick episode of "South Park" and then I was
off to the train station and on to the 6.13 to London. I don't like
early morning trains - there is something soulless and impersonal
about them.
I
had a minor episode at Waterloo when I found myself stuck. I could
not get out of the station. Eventually I found an exit, but it took
some finding. I didn't fancy taking the tube; for all that it was
drizzling, the tube at rush hour is horrible, so I walked into
Lambeth to the day's business.
One
day I will blog at length about what I was up to; but not today.
(That's very cryptic of me, isn't it!)
I
finished what I was up to at 4pm, and for want of anything better to
do I activated my geocaching app. I was surprised at how few caches
there were in the Lambeth area; far fewer than in Ashford. But enough
to make the walk back to the station interesting. I found a cache
celebrating Prince Albert in a park bearing his name. I found a cache
in what I can only describe as "Albert Square". I
found a cache celebrating Captain Bligh's birth place. I found a
cache hidden in honour of a "Dexy's Midnight Runners"
video. In all I found half a dozen of the things in an hour. All
magnetic - there are those on the Facebook Kent Cacher's group who
would lay eggs about that!
Having
had problems getting out of Waterloo railway station this morning I
then had problems finding the place this evening. I hate walking
round the busier parts of London. No one is ever looking where they
are going; randomly blundering wherever they fancy. I crashed into
two people who just randomly stopped and then started walking
backwards for no apparent reason. Fortunately I arrived on the
platform only minutes before the train was due, however the train was
full, and it was standing room only for half an hour until we got to
Sevenoaks.
And
following such an early start I spent much of the evening dozing. I
hate that !!!
