Packet Boat Marina


Grand Union Canal – Thursday 31 October 2013
Forgot to say that on the way back from TNA on Tuesday I called in to Hammersmith to collect my second pair of spectacles and took the opportunity to visit the Bus Station staff.  While there one of the new ‘Boris Buses’ broke down blocking the entry ramp.  Obstructions like that require extra staff, so with permission I donned a HiVis vest and assisted by guiding incoming buses round it (they had to go over into the exit lane).  It took about 30 minutes before the bus would restart.  It felt quite like old times and I thanked the staff for laying on a broken bus just for me!
Today I had a run into town to go to the Kenyan Embassy to get an application form for an entry visa.  While standing and queuing we were all ordered to sit down as “people standing obstruct the entrance” (which was in a different room).  Anyway all safely got and sent off to Jules.
The weather is mixed with sunny patches then rain.
