I have recently invented a new pastime for myself. Admittedly, some people may think it’s a complete waste of time and that I should be doing more productive things, but I have taken to doing something I call bus-trundling. I have written about trundling on here before, when I go out in my powerchair and sort of follow my nose. It has recently been too cold to go out in my chair though, so instead I take myself to the bus stop and get on the first bus that comes. I then go wherever the bus takes me, getting off either when I feel like it or when I see something interesting. I then catch the next bus and the next, until eventually I decide to head home.

As I said, it’s a bit of a waste of time, but at least it’s a way of getting out and about while staying relatively warm. It take’s advantage of London’s free (for me), accessible public transport to explore the city; I can go to places I wouldn’t usually head to. While some may chuckle at the idea of swapping from bus to bus all afternoon, it’s far better than getting bored at home or freezing my arse off out in my powerchair.
