      Sort of sunny.

      Sort of dry.

      Sort of almost warm.

      Train sort of on time.

      Sort of didn't notice the blindperson.

      Hill sort of steep.

      Pavement art sort of mostly gone.

      Skool sort of in view.

      Sort of Thursday.
      That's what they count on! Watch the bastards, they can turn on you in an instant!

          Greyish. Herringbone sky.

          Sunny. Ish.

          Cool.

          Train on time at 17 seconds early. A record.

          Blindperson AWOL again.

          Hill steep.

          Pavement art now decorates both sides of road with demolished colour tv.

          Lavatory pan still in evidence. Pink bin bag departed.

          Skool in view.

          But, and bestest of all, thank crunchy it's Friiiiiiidddddaaaaayyyy!
          Blindperson seen on my train home last night.

          Or more precisely, getting off my train at the same stop as yours truly.

          Blindperson's progress along platform nearly fouled by a stray bicycle propped against a pillar, but blindperson fended it well.

            Wet. Very.

            Sunny. Sometimes.

            Dry. Not.

            Train on time at 3 minutes late. Even later at Swansea.

            Hill steep.

            Slippery bit very slippery, but I successfully traversed it without ropes.

            Pavement art (major installation) now has the addition of half a bottle of Coca Cola (I'd like to teach the world to sing), and an indeterminate bottle of something with Chinese(?) writing saying something inscrutable.

            Additional pavement art in the form of multiple black bags taking up most of pavement.

            Skool in view, currently, through the downpour.

            Wednesday.

            Just as well I put the guttering back up last evening, considering the amount of rain at 4 a.m.
            And the blind person? Any news?

              Dark.
              Dank.
              Drizzly.
              Wet.
              Sunless.
              Cool.
              Train on time at 5 seconds early.
              Blindperson AWOL again.
              Hill steep. Slippery bit not wet long enough to be really slippery.
              Pavement art mostly unchanged.

              Skool dimly in view. Dim being the operative word for most of the inmates.

              Tuesday.
              Should they be on holiday by now?

                Torrential drizzle at times.

                Hill steep. Slippery bit a bit slippery.

                Pavement art much the same as yesterday, but by some miracle of organization by Swansea council, the bendy bus must have picked up the black bin bags yesterday. That can be the only explanation.

                Skool in view through the murk & dirt on the windoze.

                Thursday.

                Stone me, it's getting even darker.

                I expect the 4 horsemen soon.
                I always enjoy your upbeat offerings regarding your journey to work zeity. No hint of stoic resolve, simply an uplifting synopsis of Welsh commuting at its best.
