Celebrating the unconventional

Thankfully, the weather was much better today, mostly sunny with clouds. Sara Ebba and I walked into town along the Taff trail into town. We visited the Castle briefly, then St John's. Then we walked around the shops and ended in John Lewis for a drink before catching a 61 bus home outside the Holiday Inn. 

A passer-by told us that three 61 buses were parked waiting for drivers in Westgate Street, and to expect delays, or take a different bus route out to West Cardiff. It's not unusual these days for scheduled bus not to turn up. It seems we're still suffer a driver shortage in the city, post pandemic. In fact we only had to wait ten minutes for a double decker to turn up. Sara and I swapped stories over tea at the kitchen table when we got back, while Ebba relaxed upstairs in our attic bedroom, and did whatever fiftern year olds do in their down time.

Clare cooked a chick pea curry for supper, then Sara watched 'Emmadale' before both went to bed early. Short stay visits in a different time zone can be taxing for a natural early riser. I continued watching 'Astrid Murder in Paris'. It's been very favourably reviewed on IMDB, and I agree with this. It's good to see portrayed a positive image of an autistic person and the problems many people have with someone who thinks and acts in original  unconventional ways.

Then I decided it was also time for me to turn in for an early night as well.
