Train times

Currently I am currently sat on a train being propelled at unthinkable speeds from Bristol to London. I say unthinkable, because whenever I think about how fast it’s going, it makes me feel a bit uneasy. Sure it’s relaxing when you are inside, but then I think about how fast my legs would have to be moving if I jumped off and tried to run to stop myself from falling over. Probably couldn’t do it.

I have the blurry verdant British countryside on my left, with intervals of the occasional house, telegraph pole and alarming train coming from the other direction that jolts me back into reality and drives home just how fast we are going. My wife is sat opposite, unaware of these thoughts, peacefully and beautifully reading her book. I love watching her without her knowing. It’s not creepy cos she’s my wife, so it’s allowed. The peace of this trip has been obliterated by a bunch of “lads” who are modelling products from Sports Direct. They seem to be a group of dad’s or husbands that have been “granted permission” to go to London for a weekend of “freedom”. Lairy Dads. Maybe that’s the etymology of the word “lad”. It’s 9:28am and they are chugging cans of Thatcher’s Cider and completely unaware of the train’s peaceful vibe that they have stormed into. Best of luck to them.

Ramblings aside, I have some exciting news. I am now the very proud sponsor of Jugglequip. They have sent me a few sets of their absolutely lush Infinity Juggling balls. So far I love them. They are a little lighter than my previous ones, and they have a nice grip to them. They are going to be very useful for my next project that will start on the 1st September. More about that soon!

Oh and just cos I know you love it (do you? I mean really, do you? Sometimes I’m not sure.), here is one second of every one of my days in July. It was an interesting month.

That’s surely enough updates for now isn’t it? Must be. Right, I’m gonna put my noise cancelling headphones to use and continue enjoying the view and sipping on my oat flat white. Have a lovely weekend folks.
