Today has been one of 'those' days!



I hate 'those' days, where everything seems to go wrong or just isn't as simple as it normally is. I had to go into Glasgow today so i thought id drive to the station, get the train to town, then the subway to the west end and then walk the rest to where i was meeting someone. Sounds easy doesn't it.
I should probably explain here that my car has a mind of it's own, Herbie doesn't have a patch on my Megane. I was driving it on Sunday and all of a sudden the wipers started going like the clappers, the hazard light were stuck on, not flashing, just on, and the central locking was locking and unlocking the doors every couple of seconds. I was driving along pissing myself laughing at what an idiot i must of looked in the dry with the wipers going and the hazards on.
Well, today i got into the car to see if it would get me to the station, Turned on the ignition and not a sound from the engine but a loud squeak from the dry window as the wipers sprung into action. The engine refused to start much the opposite of the wipers which could not be turned off! and no, the stalk wasn't on in the car. At this point i decided that i was gonna have to walk to the station, so i turned off the ignition again and the wipers still kept going so i just locked the doors and left the car sitting there with the wipers squeaking away.
The walk wasn't entirely pleasant as it was extremely windy and i had to make some phone calls on the way which proved impossible. Got to the train station just as the train left and had to sit in the wind and now rain for 30 minutes waiting for the next one.
Things looked up when i was on the train, it was warm and i could just relax with some good tunes in my ears and my eyes fixed out the window.
Arrived in Glasgow and got a shock when i left the station, it was bloody frozen and i'd forgotten my hat! A swift diversion to H&M to buy a cheap hat sorted that out though. Things seem to be going ok at this point don't they.
Got the subway no problem and arrived without any issues which was great. As i left the Subway station i checked that my phone had network, so i could ring and find out where to meet up. The Phone said that it had network but wouldn't let me ring out. I turned it off and on again which normally helps. Still nothing. This continued for another 10 minutes or so with the phone getting closer to being bounced off the floor! I admit that it was more than likely caused by a lack of network in that area, but i like to blame the phone as it is crap in every other way! Eventually i got network that would let me call and found out what cafe we were meeting in.
All was good from this point on while in town. The walk back to the subway i had fun taking the pictures for the blog. The train home was good also, the walk home wasn't, as it decided to piss it down as i started the 30 minute walk home.
So thats my day, sorry its been a bit of an essay but i'm bored and just kept writing.
Some exciting photographic stuff soon i promise.
