To get to the family homestead for Christmas, the first step was to catch the bus from my local stop. Knowing the timetable, and how long it takes to walk to the bus stop, i was right on schedule...
Then i realised that carrying all my luggage and a bag of Christmas presents was slowing my pace. While 3pm on a hot summer's day is not the ideal time to do a jog through the neighbourhood while carrying waaay too much stuff - that's what i had to do.
Arriving at the bus stop 1 minute after the scheduled time, the electronic display informed me that i had not missed the bus - but that it would be a couple of minutes late. Just enough time to catch my breath, and have some gratitude for the occassional delay.
