Train and Planes and Automobiles!!

Well not the planes, but the others.
VT had to take his car to the garage in Southport this morning to get a service and something else done. he got up early, and the plan was, to take the car, and come back on the train and have breakfast. He should have been back by 10a.m., but he rang up at 10.30 to say he was stuck in Formby. The train wasn't going any further up the line because something had happened on the line. They were setting up buses but there would be a delay. Eventually he decided to walk to Formby village and got a bus to Crosby!! Then get a bus from Crosby which is totally the other way and get the Shoppers bus back to Hightown!
What a circuitous route to get home. It isn't any wonder that people use cars. He eventually got home at 11.25. 2Hours to get from Southport to Hightown...a 20 minute journey by car!! Poor VT.
We had some lunch then went back on the train to get his car. Only problem here was that my stupid..very expensive..David Ormerod hearing aid got blocked on the train. Don't know why..it just happened. VT usually clears them at home no problem, but of course we didn't have the gear on the train. So we ended up going into a shop to buy a needle to unblock it. What a pain! Anyway we whizzed round M&S and got a few salady things and then went for his car. No probs with that I'm pleased to say, and it took us 1/2 an hour to get home.
Horrible smell in the village..just awful, smells like the compost heap over the bypass. Whatever..it isn't nice at all.
Tonight we are having:
The remaining Pizza we usually have for our lunch,
Salad from M&S and other remaining salads.
Plus a couple of extra ones I bought.

We had a sandwich for lunch today instead of our pizza turning things around today...
