10 April (Part 1) - Dashed yellow lines!
The 36 hours since the last blog has unfortunately been filled with more hospital visits. Apart from nine yesterday evening until nine this morning I have been stuck at the Princess Royal University Hospital in Lock’s Bottom. The medical crisis seems to have been satisfactorily resolved but probably I should say nothing about the interminable delays, the lack of communication and the occasionally less than friendly staff.
Exactly 24 minutes after posting
pictures of the less than satisfactorily parking arrangements around Abbey Wood
station last Tuesday an email message said I should get myself to the other side
of the tracks, which I did soon afterwards. Up until now there has not been an
opportunity to show the pictures, but until Bonkers gets up to speed again they are almost all I have.
It looks as though the line painter came along while cars were parked and
painted around them. Why ever wasn’t a warning given in advance and a day set
aside for the lining job? Ah, I remember now, the man in charge is Mike Frizoni.
Perhaps I should note
in the interest of balance that there were no road hold
ups anywhere driving to Petts Wood and Lock’s Bottom over the past two days even
though three trips were within peak hours. This morning’s trip took under half
an hour door to door. It surely cannot all be due to the lack of the school run.
