22:20......... I am sat on the twenty-two twenty-two slow train home
It's been a very long day. It's the raggerty First Capital Connect train tonight
Come to think of it, it's these train that usually welcomes the very late commuters and a thought comes to mind.......... Is it in hindsight....... What with highly spirited commuters et al!
I can smell fast food junk....... MacDonald or Kentuky fried CHICKEN......take your pick

I met long tall Sally going through the barrier at the same time
"Good morning"
"Good morning"
"The good doctor is parking one of his many cars....."
We did the usual 'how was your weeken' as we head towards platform four
Only one train buddy seen at the platform
"Good morning"
"Good morning"
The good doctor follows seconds later, then my namesake
More greetings, more 'how's your weekend?'
"Blah! Blah! Blah! until the train arrives, on time
There were another five train buddies already on the train
We take our place beside them and.......
"Blah! Blah! Blah! all the way to Kings Cross
07:11......... Arrived at St Neots station a little annoyed with Mother Nature!
Why?
Well, I'll tell you......
I looked out of my bathroom window and was nearly blinded by the beautiful sun ray shining through the frosted window
Aaaah! Spring is finally showing, thus giving me an uplift, perking me up for my morning travel into the city that never sleeps, LONDON!
I stepped out into the big world and that 'spring in my shoes' disappeared
Why?
It was f****** freezing!!
Hence mad dash in to get my scarf

DOS man picked me up from St Neots station bearing a surprise gift.........a flask full of hot coffee laced with ......... BAILEYS!
LOVE MY DOS MAN
Now I'm sat alone albeit with a handful of other late commuters, lost in my thought
DOS man and number two daughter are always there to lift my spirit whenever I'm feeling low
21:07......... Platform zero for the seven minutes past nine train to St Neots
I had a lovely meal with my number two daughter....... We ordered one fancy cocktail and one Southern comfort and lemonade followered by our starter. We chatted and caught up with our day's event
We had a taste of each others starter, chatting away whilst sipping on our individual 'poison' drink
We ordered our main meal and continued chatting until it was brought to the table
After a succulent dish washed down with peppermint tea my number two daughter paid the bill and we made our way to the coat stand for our coats and scarfs
"Is this your first time?" asked the elegant female owner
"Second......first time being straight after watching a dance performance at the nearby Sadler's Wells theatre last summer" I said
We chatted whislt putting on out coats
"Well, have a good evening and hope to see you again"
"Have a good evening too"
We walked to Angel station for the Northern line to Kings Cross before parting
We hugged, we kissed and said our goodbyes
17:17........ On the southbound Victoria line train having had to walk down a (non) moving escalators 
I should have known that something was amiss
Why?
Just as I joined the Victoria line commuters, after getting of the district and circle line...... a female commuter appeared to be coming UP the DOWN escalators, joining the crowd taking the other escalators!
I had to take double quick steps in order not to fall!
I'm taking a slight detour this evening and now heading towards the Northern line, destination..........Angel
