A Trolley Dash, A Micro Bash & Signal Failure

I had a very eventful day today that I will  have to describe in order to try and make sense of it all! It went as follows:
1. Woke up with really bad hay fever and had to scramble about to find my anti-histamine tablets.
2. Walking on my way to work I was crossing the road near Buckingham Palace when I got knocked over by a glancing blow from a white van. I didn't see him, didn't hear him and thought I'd been hit from behind when actually he'd come from in front of me. The driver did stop to check on me but I reassured him I was okay. I was very lucky that I only ended up with a grazed knee but still felt very discombobulated for all the rest of my walk until I got to my studio and could have a bit of a sit down!
3. At lunchtime I had to go and pick up my framed prints for the staff exhibition from Goodge Street. A thing I have learnt about tube station exits and entries are that they are not always on the street they are named after and that the platforms can often be quite a distance away from the entry point. Confusingly Goodge Street tube station is actually on Tottenham Court Road and Tottenham Court Road is actually on Oxford Street. Go figure!
4. On the way back with my three framed prints I'd forgotten how heavy they could be. By the time I'd walked a few short steps from Oxford Circus I wasn't sweating buckets I was sweating swimming pools in all the humidity! I spotted a pub nearby and popped in to drink a pint of coke  to try and cool myself down.
5. By going home time I was out on my feet so got the tube to Victoria only to learn that there was major single failure  and that my journey home was going to be badly delayed.
6. I eventually got home but had to make an emergency trolley dash with my brother to get food for the evening meal!
7. Finally, when I was sitting on the sofa eating quiche and chips I found out that one of the paintings I photographed for work had become the most expensive thing I'd ever shot in over thirty years! What a day!
