Today should be a good day, the start of an 8 day break with a wee trip to London booked for our anniversary. I'd also taken the opportunity to get the MINI booked into Davie's makeup artist for a wee bit of tlc whilst we're away (at this point I should add that Karen did offer to get up early to follow me up in order to give me a run back home. Na! I said, I'll get the train back, the station is nearby, you have an extra hour or two).
However ............ at work this morning around 1am I managed to break a tooth, not nice!
Ran up to Larbert for 07:15 to drop the MINI off & made my way to the station only to find out that today is 'strike action day' ....... brilliant!!
The girl at the station indicated that the only trains were running once an hour from Falkirk High. Larbert Taxi? .......... no luck there. A bus stop was found in the area that took me into Falkirk ........ eventually. Upon arrival in Falkirk I go to find the station only to find out that FH is at the back of beyond so a local Falkirk taxi took me up. Guess what!! I then just missed the next 'hourly' train as it pulled away from the station.
Still waiting & just a tad pi$$ed off, ........ will this day get any better
PS, betcha if I'd mentioned a train to Davie he would have known about the strike!! doubt he does dentistry mind.
Hippity 'feckin' hop
