Nicely done Charl.

Today I awoke to clear blue skies and thought this is what I've been waiting for.
Before I could start I had to drop the car into the local garage, 10min' drive, five minute walk to the bus stop a 10min' ride and I'm home again.
So I left home at 8.30 only to discover every road heading towards Dartford grid locked due to some hassle at the Dartford crossing, it took me an hour to get to the garage, walked to the bus stop, stood there for an hour during which time three buses should have come along, a guy had an App on his phone which said for some reason they'd decided to cancel all the buses to avoid the jams 

I then had an hours walk home arriving three and a half hours after I'd left at the same time as the clouds and rain forecast shortly.
Now having a sit down and a cup of tea while my blood pressure subsides
