Today's Peeve Of The Day, Tuesday 25th February. (the best, children, newspaper)

[Jezer]

Good morning peevers.

Yuck again- I'm just about to head out in the rain for an appointment in town.

I'm not sure if they have traffic lights up at one bit of flooding so I don't know how long to leave for the journey.

I don't want to get there too early and I hate being late.

My POTD is;

How long to plan for the journey?

Here with some more of those murals;




Father Christmas at the hospital up in the big town;

This is, sadly, always a hit or miss.

Beautiful murals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of the murals in the U.S. depict life in Mexico.. Nice pics Jezer. Traffic conditions are hard to know or predict and plan for.

P.S. Elnina has the pics to prove it.

Jezer, is there a coffee shop close that you can spend a wee bit of time in if you are too early?
Perhaps get a coffee or tea, relax before your appointment, read the newspaper or a book?

Be careful on your way there and back home and I hope your appointment goes well.

There's a sign in my dentist's office that says:

"If you can't be on time,
Be early."

That's my philosophy, too. I'd rather get there early and have a few minutes to kill than stress about traffic jams and finding a parking space (always a consideration in San Francisco).

Good peeve! I love the murals, too, especially the two children playing ball and Father Christmas offering the baby a toy elephant. That fellow in the hat sitting under the tree looks surprisingly contemporary.

Great peeve, Jezer... and one often difficult to determine in inclement weather. To avoid being late, the best you can do is plan for the worst-case scenario and arrive early. I agree with CSD610's suggestion... that perhaps you can find a place nearby to spend some time in if you're really early. Whatever you decide, please take care and stay safe out there today!

Great murals btw, thanks for sharing, obviously a very talented group!

well, if you get there early, you could always take more photos.

or a book/magazine.

I agree with BayArea-early is better.

And love those murals.

I'm always early for my appointments - and I always have to wait at least thirty minutes. I like how doctors' appointment cards always imply their time is precious, yet they always manage to show me how my time is worthless.

Let's talk about the REAL peeve.

I always plan to get there early and take a book with me
