Sunday 3rd March 2013 ~ SIRO-A Technodelic!

Walked across Finsbury Park to board Gemini WVL482 on the 19 at 13.00 for the ride to Shaftesbury Avenue. I was heading for the theatre for some Japanese Technodelic human animation... after which we went to the pub and finally it was at 21.05 when I boarded Enviro400 T164 on the 341 for the ride back to Harringay Green Lanes.

Thursday 28th February 2013 ~ Chop chop chop in Regents Park

At 09.53 I caught Enviro400 T263 on the 29 from Manor House to Camden (Bayham Street), catching it at Manor House due to the roadworks just north of Manor House meaning it was much quicker to walk to Manor House than get the bus! After a coffee in Camden I boarded single-deck Enviro200 DE1166 on the 274 from Bayham Street to Prince Albert Road (Wells Rise). After my gardening I decided to take a bus odyssey back to HGL, catching Enviro400 E184 on the 453 from Marylebone Road/York Terrace to Waterloo (County Hall), and then a quick change to Enviro400 T163 on the 341 from County Hall to Harringay Green Lanes.

Wednesday 27th February 2013 ~ Put m' feet up on Green Lanes

Started with Solo OS9 on the W5 from Harringay Sainsbury's to Hornsey Library, where I dropped off Tiny Furniture and picked up To Get to Heaven First you have to die - a Russian film. Then a walk to Crouch End Broadway for Enviro400 TE685 on the 91, which I took to the Strand. My next ride was aboard Enviro400 TE989 on the 139 from Charing Cross to Waterloo. Thence to the platform level entrance at Waterloo to board another Enviro400, no.9554, on the 211, for a ride to Victoria. At Victoria it was on to hybrid Gemini HV44 on the 73, which I took to Oxford Circus, from where I boarded Enviro400 no.9555 on the C2, which I took to Green Park. Time to head back so I decided to get Gemini WVL495 on the 19, which I boarded at Piccadilly/Down Street, intending to take it all the way to Finsbury Park. However whilst on board I realised it had changed it's terminating point to Highbury Barn, so I got off on Rosebery Avenue, noticing that subsequent 19's were also only going to Highbury Barn. My ride home was Enviro400 T149 on the 341, from Rosebery Avenue to Harringay Green Lanes. I boarded it at 18.20. Due to roadworks just north of Manor House on Green Lanes and it being rush hour, progress approaching Manor House was extremely slow!


Tuesday 26th February ~ Tiring!

Caught Gemini WVN26 on the 259 in the morning from Manor House to Caledonian Road tube station. Doing the reverse journey in the afternoon aboard Gemini WVN1.

Saturday 23rd February ~ Bowling! You get a ruuuush from bowling!

It was 13.20 when I caught Gemini WVN18 on the 259 from Manor House to King's Cross, arriving just before 14.00. Then after look at the Wellcome's Death exhibition, and a splendid guided tour. After that my next engagement was in Finsbury Park. I boarded  Gemini VLW182 on the 253 at Euston for the ride to Finsbury Park. After a fun early evening's bowling it was onto the Victoria Line to Oxford Circus and some Oriental hipster street food. After that and a drink I found myself at the Aldwych, from where I took Enviro400 T217 on the 341, not one of the 341's regular buses I believe, back to Harringay Green Lanes.

Friday 22nd February ~ Brrr again

Another cold winter's day. After my psychotherapy session I caught Enviro400 T162 on the 341 from St Ann's Hospital all the way to Holborn Circus. After having something to eat on Fetter Lane I boarded Enviro400 T155 on the 341 from Fetter Lane to Harringay Green Lanes.

Thursday 21st February 2013 ~ Tiny Furniture

Caught Solo OS15 on the W5 from Harringay Sainsbury's to Hornsey Library, from where I took out the film 'Tiny Furniture', which was OK, I grew to like a couple of the characters. I returned on Solo OS9 on the W5 from Crouch End (Wolseley Road) to Endymion Road, where the bus got stuck in traffic so I decided to get off.
