Busses

I got caught out by the busses today. I thought I
understood them coming at the same times during the
day, half an hour between each. Only to discover that
it all changes at six in the evening. Everything
started going wrong at the bank at noon, when I
realised I forgot my passport and driving licence. So
the kids and I ended up going home to collect them,
and return by first number six bus and then number
one to Wildwood. They match up beautifully that way
and getting the transfer ticket as you get on the
first means the second is free. (on the way home the
number six bus leaves just before the number one gets
in, so we end up walking).
We arrived back at the bank and I am finally in possession of a bank card. So time to drop in on point2 before going to the Canadian supermarket. By the time we had queued and paid it was now getting close to six. Thinking I did not think rushing to catch the bus was in order we wandered across to Safeway to collect more bus tickets before wandering down to the bus stop. I thought we timed it about right just before ten past six did not leave too much time to get cold. After about ten minutes the timetable was checked. At six the timings change, we must have just missed the bus and they only arrive once an hour. Lets just say I was very later getting home and I now travel with my diary and phone numbers.
