Public Holiday?
One of those is it or isn't type.
As I went to the Sunday Bingo I suddenly had a thought as I finally put my calendar on the hall wall (and saw in small print for today's date)its a deferred bank holiday from Saturday(Its an official one if you live in Scotland)
Alarm bells rang and I thought, I have a concert tonight in a neighbouring town and recently across the "Festive Fortnight" the bus services have either stopped altogether on specific days, running a Saturday schedule during weekdays and sometimes stopping as early as 8pm.
I came onto the internet and discover services back to normal in general and was relieved but a little more research and not quite. They are running normal until 6pm(ish)and then they are dropping the other regular service so I am down to one bus per hour so if I cannot manage to get back to the bus stop in the town centre by 22.15 I will have to wait until 23.15. I usually have two services every half hour.
At a push I have one complicated way to get home but I have to do that I'll reluctantly absorb the cost of a taxi ride home* But free or £4.50 fare is better than approx £15.
Its an easy day...I only have to shave. grab something to eat, watch the return of a favourite TV series on BBC1 early afternoon "Father Brown" perhaps an afternoon cookery show while I have my tea. Then go...I may do another hour of housework.
Its just me but unless some extra shows are slipped into the itinerary of the two main theatres I can access there is little of interest to me for the next year and I have all my tickets up to the end of April and for on production in July. Remakably that's nine shows. Go whilst I am able(financially/health wise)One theatre is going to be closed for almost a year for refurbishment. So this year I may be out less at organised entertainment. Unless the student and amateur drama productions(which are less expensive)continue through the year and they are doing productions that appeal. I usually book but I may turn up on the spur of the moment as you can usually get a seat.
*I nearly deleted my talk about the buses because after writing that, I went onto the website again to check information and the other service has been re-instated so I don't know if that's a new decision or the omission was an error. I am now awaiting a response direct from the bus company via Twitter to find out what is going on.
