Useless triv

Yep - I’ve been out of action for a few days - and, unsurprisingly, nothing eventful enough to report has happened. Lots of dull and uneventful things to not report have happened though - but I’ll report them anyway:

• Today is Canada Day. Happy Canada Day to all Canadians! (My CEO is a Canadian so I guess I’d better proclaim happiness for today.)

• To get to work I normally take Route 79 bus to Alperton from Kingsbury - and then get the Piccadilly Line tube from there to Hammersmith. But the last few days I’ve been getting the Jubilee Line from Kingsbury to Baker Street and then getting the Hammersmith & City Line to Ham from there. Why? Because there are major road-narrowing works going on in Ealing Road Wembley that is causing the bus to get stuck in traffic jam in the mornings. Despite my love for Route 79 - I cannot live with unpredictable journey times to work - so I’ve being going by tube instead. However, I’ve still been travelling home by bus - so my loyalty has not faded …

• I helped myself to an A4-sized “Black & Red” notebook from the stationery cupboard in the office at work today. I was really pleased with it.

• Yesterday the postman dropped a card through my letterbox whilst nobody was home indicating that a letter was being held for me at the depot because it was too big to fit through my letterbox. So - rather excitedly I finished work early today to go to the depot to pick up my mysterious package. How disappointed I was when I found out that it was just 20 rolls of 35mm Fuji Film that I ordered from a website over a week ago. I was annoyed because I’d specifically asked them to deliver the goods to my work address so that I could avoid having to go to the depot in the first place.

• My OysterCard arrived in the post today. I am really looking forward to use this card because the whole concept is really swish. (Yes I am sad.)

• This evening my Uncle-in-law from Southall ‘phoned to say hello. The last time he ‘phoned out of the blue was over a year ago.

• Tonight we can’t be bothered to cook - so me and Ms.Route79 are having Marks & Spencer double pepperoni pizza with Safeway garlic baguette for dinner. But to add a touch of the exotic we are going to liberally sprinkle some freshly-plucked basil leaf over the pizza - and we are having a home-prepared salad accompaniment (that includes crunchy red radish) tossed with Kraft French vinaigrette Dressing. Don’t you think that’s really exciting?

And I just can’t hide it,
I’m about to lose control
And I think I like it.“
