The driver informs us that we are........
"In a queue for a platform at London Liverpool Street station!
"Nooooooooo!"

"The train now arriving on platform one is the......"
The female voice on the tannoy made me speed down the station steps...... In time to board the...
"........ The National Express train to London Liberpool Street calling at Stratford"
And in next to no time
" The train arriving at Platform five is the blah! blah! blah!......."
Stratford station came and went
The carriage is quite apart from one male commuter seated a few seats behind me
"Yeah, where are you now?" talking loudly on his mobile..... Then his voice becomes inaudible
Why?
The man sitting opposite me is chewing loudly!

I am unfortunate in my choice of seating tonight
Why?
I'm sat next to a sniffer
'Sniff! Sniff! Sniff! Followed by coughs now a blow of the nose!
Should have stayed home instead of spreading your f****** germs mate!

17:07........through the barrier and straight onto the seventeen ten train towards Maryland station then bus to the dentist
It's not quite dark yet so I guess Spring is whispering in the air

On arriving at London Liverpool Street station, I decided to take a detour towards Boots.....just to check up on Rimmel foundation make-up and ended up picking up a Revlon 'foam' foundation instead.......picked up the 'tester' for my colouring and pressed lightly.............
Without notice the 'small' liquid FOAMED into a HUGE BALL.........like an infectious bulbous spot it continued to GROW!
Like 'The Hunchback of Notredame........my hand looked as if it had its one hunchback.......'The Hunch(back) hand of Liverpool Street station!!!
I look around for assistance
"Excuse me please, sorry to bother you.......I was wondering if you have any tissues" I said to a male staff
"Up on the counter" he replied, pointing behind me
I turned round and spotted a box of tissues and .......
"Thank you"
"That's ok" he replied
Red faced.......I begin to wipe off the foam which was for ever increasing on the back of my left hand, quickly exiting   

09:16.......... I managed to get on the train, standing room only .......managing to secure a seat after the Stratford commuters disembarked.
I am sat next to a gentleman and opposite, were two commuters, a man and a woman......sitting apart
Then a young woman joins us
"Excuse me please" she said to the man and woman......before sitting between them
The woman, who was reading her free 'Metro' newspaper, looked up with a stern look on her face........said nothing but FLICKED her newspaper LOUDLY in annoyance!
Some people!

09:05..........Mentally said 'bye' to my warm home and begrudgingly made my way to the door. Mother Nature is playing tricks this morning
Why?
Well.......the sun is out but it's b***** freezing!
I slammed the door behind me and double wrapped my scarf round my neck and secured my gloves and fur hat.
I made my way to Maryland station, taking the shortcut, back streets, finally ending on Leytonstone High Street. The road is reasonably cleared.......no 'little menances' on the pavement
