So today I set out with every intention of doing something
new. My aim was to go the gym, then hop on a train and visit Birmingham’s new
library, do a bit of work and maybe even visit a pub or two. So I woke at a
reasonable time, made breakfast then got ready for the gym. As I prepare to leave
I decide to wait twenty minutes until rush hour is over. Then I decided to plan
my visit by updating my phone with a map of the library. The computer then
decides that my phone needs an update, which needs twenty minutes before I can
do anything, during which I remember that I forgot to take my paperwork from
work which means that I have to call back into work on the way back from the
gym. I then have to visit our farm where we keep our beer festival and the road
is closed; meaning I have to scout out a diversion to check the equipment. This
means that I don’t get home until noon which means a one o clock train and I’ve
missed the morning session. I’m finally on the train to Brum which breaks down
outside Northfield due to signalling problems and we crawl the rest of the way.
I give up at Five Ways, get out, but decide to walk to the nearest Wetherspoons
pub for lunch rather than the charming upmarket Bistro I had intended on
visiting. It’s a conspiracy against me I tell ya!
