Entertainment on the Journey
Journeys to the office are invariably dull. It's 65 miles of motorway driving followed by 20 miles of twisty back lanes as you bury yourself in the Peak District. That might be nice if I hadn't done the same journey closing on a thousand times since I started working there. Today however was a little bit different as today I had my three year old daughter with me. She was visiting her Nanna for the day having been refused entry to nursery on account of a mild case of what she reliably informs me is Chicken Spots. My daughter is a wonderful person but 2 and a half hours of undistracted conversation with her would probably drive anyone completely mad so we usually provide entertainment in the form of a film on an iPad stuck to the back of the car headrest. I already think my iPad is a wonderful thing but its use as a boredom alleviation tool is a spectacular achievement and though I can now recite the majority of Shrek the Third, it meant that she was happy and that means I am happy. Some entertaining snow drifts also helped.
