Verge maintenance = cutting grass, yeah?

Then just now I got another email with a correspondance from Andy Matheson (Roads Manager) ECC- I think :
"I regret to inform you that this road closure has now been suspended until further notice.
The road will now remain open to the public.
Brilliant,
It highlights how disappointed he is that he cannot cause a weekend of traffic havoc. He's probably going to get in trouble for allowing the roads to remain open...

I had to get to Rosewell on Friday afternoon. Happily, I realised I can get the bus from porty right there, but there's ony one an hour. I duly figured out that to arrive in time I needed to get the 2.20 bus. Standing at the bus stop at 2.20, along came a 49, but it didn't say Rosewell on it... "Are you not going to Rosewell?" asks I. "Correct" says the driver, unhelpfully. "Er...is that a no?" "Yes." Then he told me the next 49 would be the one for Rosewell, and it was running, like him, 25 minutes late. Bugger, thought I. So rather than wait 25 mins, I trundled off to the bank, and then thought 2 minutes in Kitcheners (totalling six minutes from the previous 49...) seemed like a good plan. Until I saw the 49 to Rosewell go sailing past. I figured I could cross the road, get the first 42 or 21 to Cameron Toll, and hope to catch the 49 there. Imagine my dismay at Niddrie Mill, realising that not only was I likely to miss the 49 for the second time, I was also now going to have to wait in the middle of nowhere for another hour. I could have kissed the bad tempered driver when the right 49 did in fact turn up (later now than in Porty) and I made it to Rosewell in time, if rather flustered.
But i couldn't believe it took me exactly two hours to get from Porty to Sheriffhall roundabout thanks to the council and LRT buses.
God, how long and boring is this post? About as long and boring as my trip to rosewell.
