What a day (so far)…

    When my alarm went off, I decided to have a bit of a lie-in so I hit snooze (probably ‘cos I was texting Lisa until 1.15 this morning 😉 ).

    Anyway, got up, had a coffee and set off to work. Bearing in mind I work 2.5 miles away from my house, it usually takes 3-4 minutes. But not today. Oh no. Turns out a lorry fire in St Ives (12 miles away) had closed the A14, which meant all the traffic was coming down the A1, then heading east on the A428 (the road to work) resulting in total gridlock.

    But at this point I didn’t know what had caused the chaos – I just assumed it was the normal rush hour traffic so when Corina rang in looking for a lift, off I went…

    It took me almost an hour and if I’d have gone the town way, I’d have parked up on the square and gone for breakfast in the Gash. As it was I rang Corina to let her know I was going home for a coffee to give the traffic time to clear and to get her to call Dennis and Tim and let them know not to try getting through.

    Finally made it back into work with Corina, stopping off to buy burgers and bacon rolls enroute (mmm…bacon 🙂 ), answered all the emails, texted Lisa some more, drank more coffee – now I’m waiting for lunchtime (I’ve an appointment to donate blood), so I can check on the curry I’ve got in the slow cooker at home and get my bag packed for Sweden tomorrow…

    Meh.

    1. Is it horribly NY of me to think of the face scrub when you mentioned “St Ives”? I’m so American – can think of anything but brands. *sigh
