Sleeping on the Trains

On Tuesday it was our turn to go the girls’ house for the dinner and dvd night. So we made our way there and enjoyed Roisin’s scrumptious Irish Stew. After that we watched the dvd and at about 11.30pm decided to make our way home. Both of us were feeling very tired after the busy weekend and lack of sleep from the Blue Mountains. I could feel my head nodding and said to Adam I was very sleepy so should I fall asleep to wake me when we got to Rhodes. Now you’ve probably guessed what happened. That’s right, he fell asleep too! I suddenly got woken up to Adam saying we had missed our stop and him pulling me off the train as it stopped at the next station. By this time it was about 12.30am and we had no idea where we were. There was nobody around and there were no trains going back the other way. We were stuck. We decided to find the main road to try and catch a taxi however this proved to be more difficult than we had thought. After walking for approximately 20 minutes we found a main road which we started to walk down and for the next 20 minutes would see a total of 5 cars. Eventually we arrived at a social club where a taxi which was not on duty (just our luck) was parked. We phoned the number on the side of it and 15 minutes later it arrived. We were on our way home.
A couple of days later I met Lisa and Debbie who were also looking for work to go job hunting. We spent the whole day visiting and registering with various different agencies but were being told the same thing which was that there was not much work around. Oh well will keep my fingers crossed.
As it was Friday Adam treated me to a night out at the local Rhodes cinema. We went and watched 7 Pounds which we found to have a very slow start and then an obvious ending. But we did enjoy having the cinema pretty much to ourselves. Afterwards we ordered a pizza from the local restaurant called Ninety and enjoyed our delicious pizza at home vegging out on the sofa.
