10:00am I had to visit my mentor today. He has moved recently from the nearby leafy village of Caton to the far off town of Tarporley in Cheshire. I decided to use the train to get there. Three reasons mainly, it makes life easy for Louise because she can have the car, it is more relaxing and it is easier on my expenses. The rain journey cost just under 17UKP and the car journey would have been a 150 mile round trip at 40p a mile. The only problem is the connection times. I am going to have an hour and a half with my mentor and I left the house this morning at 7:30 in order to return at 5:30. I will have spent over 4 hours waiting for connections. Never mind, it gives me time to think and write. 8:30 pm I missed one connection on the way there, making me an hour late. The Internet invented a train for me, so I spent half an hour waiting for a train that was never coming and had to readjust my journey (to real trains rather than fictitious ones). The train in the way back got stuck behind a slow moving train, which meant I missed my connection (again) and arrived home over 2 hours later than planned. I might think about a different form of transport in the future!
