High wind heavy rain

Out walking with Tess at 06.45. Heavy rain and high wind. 

Back home 07.05. What to do? How to get to Heuston Station for 09.00 Cork service? Bicycle or bus?

Check Dublin Bus app at 07.30 next bus in four minutes, one after that in 24. Too late for first one and second one might be too late for Heuston.

What to do?

Decision made, eventaully. Cycle. Tog out. Two pairs of pull-ups, two rain coats, shoe covers, a hat and loads of lights.

Rain stops and it seems the wind has calmed. Not a drop of rain the entire journey.

Now sitting in pure pleasure, four seats to myself, just four other people in the leading coach. The raingear overhead.

It's always and ever the little things that make it worthwhile and fun too.

The loco driver has let off his two brakes and the train is moving.

Two minutes later passing Inchicore.

09.17, through Sallins. Irish Rail's mile posts are in MPH. But loco odometers calibrated in km/h

Sun shines and blue skies.
