Today, Shardit starts her new part-time job. I think I can safely say that we are both fairly excited. It’s at a shop called Shirt works in Cowley, Oxford.
This blog story starts when I left Sian just outside the shop to start her first shift. I had to walk into Oxford to get some stuff and do a little banking. Here is the route, which should have been a short, painless walk, in to Oxford.
However, I have never experienced such slow walking in my life. People we’re taking their time, looking at what i would consider pointless things, not to mention taking up the entire pavement. Families insisting on have their picture take on the busiest roads in Oxford, with a no-so-creative photographer.
I normally walk at a moderate speed, but i was so enfuriated at this point, I turned into Terminator and power-walked all the way into town. All I wanted to do was upgrade my Nationwide Smart-card to a current account but even that turned into a small job.
Never again, if I can avoid it, will I walk around Oxford on a Saturday.
