The winter is really here at last. No more silly little snowfalls with snow melting away the next morning – now there’s been 10cm of snow and about -10°C for the last few days.

The winter’s been here for as long as all the bus drivers have been on strike. What a coincidence. Bicycling 10km in freezing weather and in ice and snow wouldn’t be fun, but luckily I’ve been able to get into the few remaining buses.

Today I was waiting at one of University’s bus stops for the last bus of the day, when suddenly a car stopped at there. There were two girls inside, they opened a door and called out: “Anybody going to the city centre? We’ve got room for three”. Two girls and me bravely climbed in. The girl who was driving explained that she felt silly driving an empty car past a crowded bus stop. I wish there was more her kind people – most of the cars we passed were empty expect for the driver.
