Day Seventeen : Follow The Lights

Date : Friday 17th January 2014

Time : 17.13

Location : Broadway Plaza, Birmingham

BT Tower Birmingham
My 'Star of Birmingham'

Last Friday I spoke about the best thing about a Friday. That amazing moment where the clock strikes 5, coats go on and exodus ensues. 

Fast forward (a week and) a few moments, and I bring you today's picture. 

Those red lights are Birmingham's BT Tower, and hover over my apartment block. They're very much my 'Star of Birmingham' - guiding me home. 

The problem I have, is the distance. I walk to work, it takes me about half an hour, and is about a mile and a half. That's too far for me!! 

As much as I like to get home as quickly as possible, if I haven't got anything in particular to rush for, I tend to just dwardle (which I thought was a word - apparently not!). I like to just plug my music in, and chill! I think I may be a little too laid back!! 

I couldn't possibly drive to work though, firstly, because that's far too lazy! I couldn't forgive myself! And secondly - with the traffic in Birmingham City Centre (especially on a Friday night) - it would probably take me longer! 

But this is my issue, not just with Friday's, with every day! There's a small opening in the concrete jungle, where I can see the holy star, and it just reminds me how much further I have to walk! And let's be honest, its always cold, and it always rains - that's one for another time, I think! 

At least I'm getting good, daily exercise banked! 

Lesson of the day - Stop thinking so lazily! 

Bonus thought - FRIDAY.
