Getting The Hump

Today was not a great day hence the title of this image.
It started with taking my car in for a service and m.o.t to my local dealership in Maidstone. I dropped the car off and the went to get a bus home. However, due to Covid-19 the bus timetables have changed but are no longer shown at the actual bus stops - you need to access an app but I don't have a smart phone (I'm a bit of a refusenik) so I had no way of finding out the times of the buses. As it was another sparkling winter's day I thought I would just start walking and catch a bus at another stop. No buses appeared until I was more than half way home and then of course two buses passed me between stops. Aargh!
Therefore, I just decided to walk all the way home - 4 miles. Actually it was such a lovely day that I enjoyed it and decided to stop off on the way at the local M & S to get some food for the evening meal and a sandwich for lunch (which I did not realise until later was gluten free and had the texture and taste of wet cardboard) . I then got a phone call from my sister to say that she had slipped on the ice and may have broken her wrist. She had then got on the train to go to Rochester where she was meeting some work colleagues (don't ask!) and they later took her to Maidstone hospital where it was confirmed she had broken her wrist in two places. I said I would pick her up from the hospital as soon as I had got my car back. 
When I got back home the dealership had confirmed my car was ready to pick up so I then checked the bus times online and went up to the bus stop in plenty of time. I waited at the bus stop for over 40 minutes freezing my n*ts off but the bus only arrived when I had given up hope and set off back home. Therefore, I could not pick my car up before the dealership closed for the day. Double aargh!!!
This meant I was unable to pick my poor sister up from the hospital and had to arrange a taxi for her. Triple aargh!!! All in all not the best of days!

In relation to the actual traffic sign we have had traffic slowing humps in our road for several years - although we used to call them "sleeping policeman". They were actually originally designed in 1953 by a physicist called Arthur Holly Compton to slow traffic outside his university. A bit of useless trivia there - but you never know it might come up in a pub quiz!
