So, after having a lovely weekend at home in Ashford, I decided to make my way back up to Luton this afternoon, in the hope that I'd be back in time to catch the 3.10 showing of Despicable Me with Suzi Wilkin et al. BUT IT WAS NOT TO BE! The "amazing" Network Rail decided to delay my train back to St Pancras by half an hour, meaning that by the time I'd arrived in Luton, I'd have missed loads of the film. I was not best pleased... But then! :O A glimmer of hope! The delayed train was going fast, skipping out the other stations and heading straight to St Pancras. Could I just about make it in time? I checked the train times. There was a train leaving for Luton at 14.47, which arrived at 15.28. If I legged it, I could just make the film in time... Yay! :D
I sat on the rocketing train, surrounded by other impatient passengers such as myself. As the other stations shot by, the clock seemed to flick forward at a similar speed. As it approached 14.40, I had a horrible feeling that I was literally just going to miss the train to Luton. And I was right! :( the train arrived no more than two minutes late, causing my arrival in Luton to be delayed until almost 15.45. I was so annoyed! :( I'd missed my film, and spent 40 minutes in Ashford being poked in the arse by a freezing cold metal pole... 40 minutes more that I could have spend with my boyfriend! :( never mind.
On the upside, my babies were so pleased to see me - and they dug straight into the treat that I bought them! :P I have to admit, I felt incredibly guilty about leaving them behind on Thursday. I've become incredibly attached to them over the past 3 weeks! In some ways, I can't quite believe that I've only owned them for such a short amount of time...
I have a horrible feeling that I've got work due for Print Production tomorrow; yet, I haven't got any written down... >.< whoops! I guess I'll have to find out the hard way! :P
I love you, grammar geekazoids. <3
