Nice lunch

Was invited for lunch by an old friend. We had a lovely meal and chat. Got my blip when he was about to pay. Next time I pay. Had a struggle to go home. My train was cancelled. Some technical problems at a station. Took another train to reach a bus connection to go home. The bus brought me almost home. It was snowing again and the bus didn’t make it uphill on icy roads. The last kilometer I had to walk on snow covered sidewalks on my spike free shoes. Made it with some effort. Others, older than me had to order a taxi or get someone to pick them up. At home I had to shovel the «lovely» white stuff out of the yard. In fact I have another word for lovely nowadays.
