Last night as Catherine and I stepped out of the building, it started snowing.... as if on reflex, C decided to bunk gym, leave her bike in the shed and take the bus with me.....we walked towards the bus-stop in that blizzard only to find out that we had just missed a bus, and the next one was due only 30 minutes later. Rather than stand there and freeze, we did an about-turn and walked back to the department, which incidentally is only a 5-6 minute walk from the bus-stop, and warmed ourselves with hot chocolate. We didn't step out until we had just enough time to reach before the bus arrived. But to our dismay, the bus was 6 minutes late, and in those 6 minutes it snowed so hard......we were so cold...I couldn't feel my toes as we entered the damn bus!
And this morning, I arrived at the bus stop exactly 6 minutes early and had the same experience - it snowed again... and this time too, I froze. I got in thanking my stars that today the bus was on time.... six minutes is hell of a lot of time when one is standing at bus-stop and it begins to snow!
