Finding February

February 4th
Dare you enter?
















February 8th
At Worksop train station. There is a Dance Academy on Platform One, alongside a tiny cob shop, a printers and a bar.

February 10th
The usually shite bus services are today spectacularly shite.

February 13th
Bus conversation approaching Sutton,
'Int it chocolate that helps with yer sugar levels?'
'Yeah, cos it dun't do yer no good if yer don't av none.'

February 14th
6.30am. 
Bus Driver, apologising for her driving, saying that it affects her steering when she's had a few to drink. I laughed, hoping it was merely a joke and not a confession

Later on Feb 14th
Offering a tissue to the sneezing lady in the seat behind, wishing I could have pre-empted the spraying to the back of my head. At least I have prevented being party to any future snot showers, for the duration of the journey.

February 21st
Today the bus is driving itself.





















Later on Feb 21st
It appears that young people have recently chosen to boycott socks.

Very late on Feb 21st
Tonight, it looks like I'm the only one going all the way. Mansfield to Derby - it's a fair old trek!

February 22nd
Two chaps who boarded the bus at Ripley, have just spent the last 20 minutes discussing Findus Crispy Pancakes. I wasn't aware of the diverse range of fillings.

February 24th
Overheard on the bus. 
'He acts like some sort of tortured genius.' 
'Yeah, but minus the genius.'

February 25th
For the past hour and 20, I have suppressed the urge to gouge out my eyeballs and give them a good old rinse. However, I do not wish to alarm my fellow passengers by causing a gouging related disturbance on the bus.

February 27th
Best (overheard) quotes of the day;
'He looks like a Lowry painting that's been stretched.'
and
'Don't eat your poo sheet!'
