Had a morning off so tried to go to a new Parkrun in Wimbledon. Girlfriend planned a bus route last night, then this morning as we were waiting at the bus stop I looked at it and realised it took us a couple of miles from home, then came back and made us get on another bus right outside the flat. Thanks, TfL... So we get on the second one. Then, in Wimbledon Park, in the rain, there are no runners. At all. None. Turns out that the run is in Wimbledon Common, so we've missed it. Oops. I should've checked the route first, so partly my fault. Then we go to get a bus home and her Oyster card is empty, so we have to walk to the train station. Then, when we arrive back at home, she's lost her Oyster card. Thankfully the nice woman on the barrier buzzed her through. Once we walk some of the way home, she finds her card, so we have to walk back to buzz out and avoid a fine.
Should've just gone for a run from home. Which is what I did. Bah.
