So tonight was meant to be a good night.
Mum had her fortnightly meeting in Cannock, so I was gonna use her bus pass or go see Detective Pikachu tonight. I figured it’d at least save me walking one way, if not both if I was lucky.
So just before 7, I went out to get the bus. I get on the first one that came, which said clearly it was going to Cannock... only it became clear it wasn’t. It was heading completely the other way, to Walsall the next town over. I could have come off, tried to get home, or I could have stayed on the bus and kept going. Since Walsall had a cinema I kept going, but I wish I didn’t. (Also, fun almost having an anxiety attack, thanks.)
When I got there I got off the bus, went straight to the cinema... but the next showing of Detective Pikachu was 8:55, almost two hours later. Walsall has nothing open at night and buses back go funny, so I decided instead to try and come home. Of course, I missed the hourly bus, so had to get on the train (thankfully there were no ticket inspectors).
So I’m either going to walk and see it Friday for the 7:30 showing or one of the 5 showings next week. Either way, ugh.
On the plus side, it means I don’t miss Taskmaster.
