Ds1 has no debit card so he has to pay cash anyway which involves tracking down a guard when he travels alone. Waiting for laundry to finish so I can put it out.

The ticket machine is broken more often than it works, as soon as it rains or gets cold the thing sulks and won’t work. I need to go to uni and return a book and pick something up. Trying to work out whether I should drive or get the train. And when I’m going to get All The Things Done.
