pleasant commutes

[Guest]

Yesterday I Left my mooring in Northolt and travelled down the Grand Union canal to the office in Paddington. Parked in little Venice.

It took 3 hours and it was the best journey to work I've ever had.

In the evening took the boat back to Northolt while getting completely pissed with my son and a mate.

Didn't see any political posters, but there is a spiderman sculture.

pleasant commutes

The most pleasant commute I've had was a summer spent housekeeping in Marin County, commuting from Tiburon to downtown SF, mostly with a 15 minute bike ride through the winding eucaplyptus and bay leaf-lined Marin roads and a 20min ferry ride across the Bay. The day started with a cold dip in the pool, a warm shower outside and a quick breakfast on the redwood deck.

I used to commute from a hostel in Cremorne Point on the north side of Sydney harbour, by ferry, to an a company on the 18th floor of a building just off Circular Quay on the south side. It was exhilirating.

The Northern Line from Chalk Farm to Bank is somewhat less exhilirating by comparison.

I have a 15 minutes walk each way every day which includes crossing the wobbly bridge.
That's pretty nice.

I stayed in Tiburon about 15 years ago, and it is a very lovely place indeed.

I get the train from Brighton to Worthing every morning, and it is... convenient.
