Post 1621. Sunday October 22
As I'm pushed for time today I've taken the unprecedented step of revamping a story I wrote a couple of years ago which received just very few hits!
Just two minutes more and I would have caught that bus. I would have made it to the shop before it closed. I'd have bought some delicious wine, a microwave meal and some yummy chocolate then caught the bus home again. Right now I’d be enjoying my feast whilst watching the six-o-clock news.
As it is I’m drinking tepid skimmed milk and eating a tasteless curled up sandwich whilst watching the eight-o-clock news about someone who was running, tripped, fell in front of a bus and ended up in hospital.
Nurse, a bedpan, please!

The RV1 Hybrid bus from Tower Gateway Station to Covent Garden - I used it recently. I'm yet to float down the Thames on the Duck Tours amphibious bus though! 
The difference between perception and reality :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Cheers Reena.
DeleteYikes! Quite a bite in the butt hee heee hee
ReplyDeleteThat's one way of putting it Shadow!
DeleteAt least the meals are free at the moment.
ReplyDeleteA very good point SF!
DeleteHybrid bus. I was wondering what those tanks on the roof were for.
ReplyDeleteThat's one bit of the bus you don't normally see! Thanks James
DeleteLucky for him that the fall wasn't fatal! Great take on the prompt, Keith! :)
ReplyDeleteIt could have been worse I guess! Thanks Shweta.
DeleteHi Keith - busy bee ... and worth while repeating ... doesn't sound desperately healthy food to improve your health or your temper; very bad bus though! Interesting bus to know about ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteActually that's not my kind of food! Those busses are become more common in London now. Thanks Hilary.
DeleteLove it. Haste makes waste...or worse - hospital food.
ReplyDeleteWell said Denise!
DeleteIt’s always a gamble, running for a bus. This time, he lost.
ReplyDeleteNo, just wait forthe next one - or walk home! Cheers mimi.
DeleteHope the nurse hurries up! Nice one, Keith.
ReplyDeleteMe too Vadad! Thanks very much.
DeleteGood one Keith. You win some, you lose some. Hope the nurse takes good care of you.
