And our journeys out today were nowt to write home about. A couple of shuffles back and forth on the 22, one to Peterlee (needs must) and one a lot more local.
The two highlights of the day
1. Ending up ahead of time and having to stop for a while on 1519 because that bus don't half shift.
2. While waiting for a bus which turned out to be rather late (though since the update, the app has been terrible for tracking and didn't think to inform us it would be 10 minutes late until we'd already left the house, 5 minutes before we thought it was due) noticing loads of snails on the back of the plexiglass windows of the bus shelter - it's one that butts up to a hedge, so makes a nice hideyhole for them. The boys were fascinated by their feet!
Incidentally, yesterday, we all went out as a family and left the car at home. Big'un subjected husband to a tame version of a "scenic route" home - via Stanley on the 6 and 16, then taking the unusually late running 59 instead of waiting for a 22. H was less than impressed with the Omnidekka, but only bothered by the hard seating on the Merc. He found the Solo hot and really needed the loo, by then! I think he'd rather eat his own eyeballs with a blunt knife and fork than do it all again.
