The 'I need a distraction' thread.

[Aubergine]

Oh wow. That's really cool! I bet you were good. :)


Train issues. It could be a late night. :(

[Cacoethes]

Oh no aubergine :(
What's up with the trains?

[Aubergine]

Protesters on the tracks, which I did not read about until I was catching up on the news on my way! Which means assistance will be affected and raaaar.

[zombiehunter]

what the **** were they protesting about??

[Pomegranate]

Whaaaaat? I’m sorry Aubergine. That sucks

Nawwww I bet she looks so cute doing her gymnastics Beckie. You must be proud.

My train was cancelled so wasn’t going to get there on time. Arranged to meet my mum later in the week instead. Relieved tbh. Back home curled up on the sofa.

[Cacoethes]

That sucks aubergine.
I hope you manage to get home ok
The protest is about Turkey's war crimes. It just came up on the news thing on my phone.

She does look cute. I am very proud of her!

Im glad you got to go back home Emma!

[zombiehunter]

oh I jut saw on the news about the protests, they were protesting against turkey for having a go at the kurds when they should be fighting ISIS.

[Aubergine]

Kurdish people in Syria and Turkey.


Thanks. It's OK. I've been too scared to phone passenger assistance to see if they can rearrange for the later train (because of the delay), so have phoned Mum and she's going to talk to me on the phone while I find a train person and ask them for clarification on the platform and time of the next train etc. My Uncle is going to pick my up from my home station so I don't have to walk home late at night. Looking at the Network rail site, it could have been worse had I been travelling earlier in the day, so it's not as bad as it could have been. Just got to keep my **** together. :P


Curled up on the sofa sounds nice, Emma. :)

This.

[Cacoethes]

Sounds like you've got a good plan in place aubergine
Sending good vibes!

[Aubergine]

Thank you, Beckie. Good vibes always welcome!


The train got busy and I no longer have two seats to myself. I was being pretty greedy, mind. :P

[Cacoethes]

Hate it when that happens!

[Aubergine]

Hehe next stop soon! If I can get my act together and change reaaaaaaally quickly I could get on a train that'll get me home before 9pm...

[nonperson]

Eek, that's a late home time, Aubergine.

Also sending good vibes - you can do it!


Hello everyone.

[Cacoethes]

You can do it Aubergine!!

Hi nonperson
How are you?

[nonperson]

Hi Beckie. I'm still unshowered and have been quite unproductive... Got sidetracked with looking up stuff on my old laptop.

But I did do some laundry... just need to go hang it up now!

How're you?

[Cacoethes]

Its so easy to get side tracked!
At least you got some laundry done though

Im ok. Tired for some reason!

[nonperson]

I'm also tired, just did a big fat yawn.

[Aubergine]

Oh, tired people. Early night both? I'm hoping for one!


I made it. Train travelling pro. (We'll ignore the bit where I cried down the phone to my mother while finding the correct platform. :P )

[Cacoethes]

Definitely will be having an early night.
Got to get up for college tomorrow morning. Ugh!

Well done Aubergine!
