Avoiding The Rain

I went to the football at Ipswich yesterday and the rain was so bad, I didn’t feel like walking to the bus stop to get a 141 bus to Liverpool Street station.

So I walked to the closest stop and got a 56 bus to the Angel. It wasn’t any better there.

A Very Wet Angel

But at least I got there in the dry and was able to walk into the Underground, to get a train to Liverpool Street with one change at Moorgate station.  Normally, I’d have walked from Moorgate, but it was just that wet.

Coming back, the weather was just as bad, so I used an unusual route to keep dry.  I took a Metropolitan line train to Barbican station and caught another 56 back to my house.

At least the rain seemed to have abated slightly in Ipswich, but the game wasn’t a good one. There were so many mistakes and I suspect precise control was difficult. So many simple passes were missed by both sides.  Perhaps football yesterday was summed up by the result at Peterborough, where the home side beat Bolton by five goals to four.
