This sums up the last couple of days for me.

From Animals on the Underground.

The London Underground has been down for the last couple of days due to industrial action. I’m not going to get into the details of it, if I did I could get quite annoyed, but I wanted to focus on a slightly unexpected result it has had for me, namely how much I enjoyed walking to work yesterday and taking the bus home to see a bit more of the city than usual.

I guess it has a large amount to do with the fact the weather was nice, but I’ve been quite enjoying the new sights and streets I’ve encountered just by changing my route to work. I certainly haven’t arrived at work quite so depressed after another arduous tube journey – I think I’ll walk more often from now on…
