Minnie’s Musings

This morning I am contrasting an idyllic hour berrying with a friend on a local common, catching up, hearing news, grumbling with a giggle to this morning’s stress filled aggravation where nothing – and I mean NOTHING – seemed to go right.

Now I am sitting on a train I can pause for a fume. I can type with accuracy because said train seems to be pausing excessively at each stop (i.e. I am late so wish it would race right through to my destination, without pause (selfish, I know, but I am focused on goals this morning).

Spent the morning trying to get the SQL coding right without complete instructions. I am finding this course hugely frustrating because there is an assumption of knowledge which is wholly unrealistic since it is supposed to be for BEGINNERS.What should be taking me minutes is taking hours.

I set my alarm to remind me to leave for the city in timely manner. Instead I faffed and did four essential jobs before leaving and then remembered that I had to collect my prescription. For which read sit in traffic jam caused by three way lights in middle of the village, accompanied by roaring machinery.

The only thing worse than three way is, of course, four way. However I can congratulate myself on limited use of bad language and parking at the bottom of the station car park steps and skipping onto the train just before the doors closed because I had got my pass out, while climbing said steps.

I am taking small victories where I can find them and then channelling my inner core of Zen so I don’t swear at tourists who bring wealth to my city even if they do get in the way and can’t read the tube map (which is iconic for its simplicity, needless to say).

Note for those not “in the know”, Tottenham Court Road is nowhere near Tottenham, you are quicker walking between any two of Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus and/or Charing Cross than going down the Tube and make sure you get the right Ruislip.

Must now find game on phone that does not make me want to throw it out of the window.
