Tube Ride Down the Rabbit Hole

[commonpeople1]

This morning, during the Tube strike, I took the District line to work and actually arrived half an hour earlier than usual at work.

At night, when the Tube strike was supposed to be over, I walked for miles trying to find an empty bus because none of them had enough space for me and all the supposedly functioning Tube stations were locked shut.

At least the launch for our festival went really well tonight: we had about 60 people despite the terrible Mondayness of it all. The poet enjoyed himself, the organisers were happy and my boss congratulated me on getting the high commissioner for the poet's country to attend. We are all feeling so much more positive and hopeful that the marketing and press is finally working and things will turn out OK this month.

I run - with a bit of walking - a full circuit of Victoria Park, which I think is about 5 miles. Today, though, I felt I could have down two circuits - the sun was out and the air had that crisp quality of early autumn that kept my body cool and gave me more energy. It was lovely.

Where shall we meet for our day of bliss?

Let's leave it to fate. Could be San Diego. Could be São Paulo. Could be Bali... it will be somewhere surprising, that's for sure. :-)
