Rethought my travel to my English classes on Mondays. I could catch the train - it would be cheaper, and more healthy exercise as the walk's slightly longer. Leaving 15 minutes earlier would be compensated by an extra 30 mins saved at the other end. And most important, I wouldn't have to keep walking past Bristol hospital. My dad died there, and it depresses me just a little bit to have to walk past it every week. Plus, it's not a very prepossessing hospital.
Anyway, I feel like a genius at this inspired solution to a problem that was gettingme down. I'll even eliminate bus-sickness from my schedule. I really think they must be running an extra train at quarter to four, because I can't see for the life of me how I'd have missed that.
And proof that watching a lot of TV helps - I saw this picture on Monday, and actually understood the scene involved AND appreciated the picture. This never really happens to me - I like a picture, but I never really understand it in any conventional sense. Not really a bad thing, I know, but I keep meaning to "get" art a bit more. So it was nice to "get" this picture, even if only because I (a) read the notice (important tip to self!) and (b) watch a lot of re-runs of "I Claudius" to lull myself to sleep :D
Gaw blimey - I'm knackered. I'm off to have a rare can of pop...
