First Thing I Was Out,
to visit Duncan,
but from now on I will be driving, much as I dislike it, the constant cancelled trains and buses has finally got to me, last week I was still sitting outside Duncan's nursing home for 2 hours, the 1.20, 1.50, 2.20 buses were all cancelled, the 2.50 finally arriving, and I was not even at Gravesend station! the week before was even worse, just before Dartford the train stopped, as the driver walked from the front of the train to the rear he announced due to a points failure the train was going back to Gravesend, all trains to London were cancelled, after 3 hours of standing, with many others on the platform, it was announced that within the hour the points would be working again, it is not just these two incidents, but almost every week public transport cancels a train or a bus, so that is it, the tree hugging greenies and net zero zealots have had their chance, from now on the diesel Jag it is, the good news was that Duncan was in fine sprits, as it happens Kai found some old photographs that Steve had of us taken 30 or 40 years ago, I left them with Duncan for Melina to look at when she next visits, arriving home I played with a few photographs, after my evening meal I was off to the photographic club, I took along 2 photographs I had printed both of the Shard,

I Had A Few Things To Do Today,
I spent some of the day at Kai's home,
firstly the painters arrived and continued painting the downstairs of Kai's house, then back home to play with a few photographs and our new printer, in the early evening back to Kai's as Mr. Sander was calling round to give Kai a quote on having all of the downstairs floors sanded and varnished, after he left I returned to our home with Kai, where after our evening meal it was feet up for a film,
