So I’m in the train to London. I’ve already watched a film, I’m listening to music, wandered the length of the train checking out my fellow travellers. The majority of which are now sleeping. I’ve had; coffee, tea, mince pie and crisps. Had my sunglasses on and off like I’m doing some weird Hokey Cokey, looking out the window the way the sun is today.
Mightn’t sound it but I do enjoy train travel. How do you pass your journeys?

I’m resisting messaging the hubby constantly knowing he’s at work. That’s always the temptation |

Sounds like a good trip.
I did a few 3 day trips on a train from New York to California & back again.
My carry on was filled with books, that I then left behind one at a time as I finished them. Hope someone else enjoyed them as much as I did.
Between the view (at times) & reading, I had a great time  |

It’s always nice to find something like that.
A couple of trips ago I left a series of short stories printed on card, written by friends, everywhere I went. Tube, coffee shops, British Library etc.

the right frame of mind -London |
"Ever heard of books?
Is that some sort of suggestion I don’t/can’t read?
Nope -just something that was obviously not on your list.
Do you have a problem with that?"
Why, Is this where you tell me I should ignore all your requests for suggestions or where you want to explore some childhood book related trauma? |

Quick tip: If on a long distance train journey and you (as I do) have a tendency to be rocked off to sleep by the trains motion, always remember to put a nippy note on your forehead with ‘Please wake me up at *insert station here*’   |

I never asked for suggestions.
I have books, plenty of reading material and other things to entertain me. I was asking what other people do to pass their time on a journey.

"I like being nosy and looking in peoples back gardens when you're going through the towns
Oh I love that too particularly sunset in autumn. All those golden colours. "
Saw a particulary lovely graveyard from the train the other day. A golden carpet with all the pale headstones showing through. Prettier than it may sound |

You weren't? Oh dear me, I must have the wrong end of the stick then musn't I? After all, why ask how do you pass your time if you weren't fishing for suggestions then?
As to me comming across as rude -all my posts are slightly ambiguous -I dont use qcute emojis for a reason -I like to see what way it's going to be interpreted -and this case, my lack of obvious intent has been well rewarded. |

I do lots of long train journeys... Taking in the scenery is always good, and, unless I've someone to chat with, I usually catch up on some reading.
I've also been known to do my hair and makeup on the train while travelling to events  My makeup bag will be out on the table, I'll be tidying up my brows with a tweezers, and my hair straighteners will be plugged in. Particularly if I'm catching an early train... I'd rather have an extra 30 minutes sleep than wake up earlier to do it all before I travel |

I read, listen to music and watch the world go by. Or watch a film or program on my phone or even do a word puzzle perhaps. |

No I wasn’t fishing for suggestions. I was making conversation. But I guess the socially inept and awkward would never be able to see that.
Oh well! |

I like the journey to see my partner. It's about an hour on the tube, no changes, and I read a little, play a game on my phone and people watch.
I like how the people change the further away from Barking I get.
It's a whole new world. |

I sort out my emails, make any necessary lists. Admin sort of tasks as dull as that may read - I quite enjoy feeling all organised and on top of things. I also have a soundtrack for my journey (different songs depending on the reason for the journey!). |
