Not the usual commute

It is cold. -5 according to my iPhone. A thin layer of snow is covering the ground as is a thin sheet of ice. It is rather pretty.

After thoroughly checking that the trains are running we walk down to the train station.

As we are coming down the hill we spot a lorry across the road. He seems to be trying to reverse into a side road. As we get closer we realise it isn't moving at all. In fact, it is jacked-knifed across the road. Not able to move in any direction.

We walk up to the lorry in hope to be able to sneak past it. We start with the back only to realise that it is about a 2 cm gap between the lorry and the fence. I am not that thin! We find a similar situation at the front of the lorry. Not a chance to sneak past.

As we are trying to get past, the lorry driver climbs out. With an apologetic smile he offers us to climb through the cab of the lorry. Considering that our train is shortly due we take him up on his offer.

So today I climbed through a lorry to get to work...
