Wom's Adventure to Campus

Wom was curious about students so he took a journey up to campus. He booked his ticket on the local transportation system and was on his way.The ride took almost 20 minutes and was very enjoyable. He entered the lecture theater and sat down. He was confused why the whole class were facing the wrong way!!
The lecture was fun but Wom found it hard to make notes so he just listened.Then the lecture was over so he made a speedy exit and slid down the stairs,weeeeeee.
Wom waited for the transportation home but it was delayed because of a breakdown. So he decided to make his own way.
On the journey he got tired so he hitched a ride with one of the many back-packers common to the area.
The back-packer was stopping at the next building so Wom asked to get off,but the silly back-packer put him down on a wall!! 'How am I going to get down from here?!'
A friendly passer-by came to Wom's rescue and brought him back down to earth. As Wom travelled over many different types of terrain he came accross a strange colour hole. Having watched a war film on t.v the day before he deduced it was a grenade hole and thought it best to move on, swiftly.
Wom passed a news stand and the 'Summer fashion' advert caught his eye so he picked up a free copy.
Wom came accross a swimming pool. Luckily he had brought his swimwear so he took a quick dip. The water was pleasently warm.
It was getting quite late so Wom thought it best to carry on his journey home. Five minutes later he found a strange furry lifeform. 'Wom Wom.....Meow??'.They quickly became friends but communication would need a bit of work.
Wom could see the train station so he was almost home. He perched himself on a post and thought 'From here I look like a train, chuga chuga woo wooo', sadly he was mistaken, and quickly remember he was a wombat, not a train.
Wom had arrived home and opened the door. It late and Wom was getting hungry, 'Time for dinner'.
The End

Talking of adventures...

Last night I definitely had one!!
My housemate, H, woke me at about 2 in the morning as she was feeling unwell and panicky and having trouble breathing. Long story short (I wont embarrass her too much!) we ending up ringing a taxi to take us to A&E.
It was bizarre, I hadn't been there before but she had on a couple of occasions, but it definitely smelt familiar to me. I reckon all hospitals must smell pretty much the same. By this time it was about 4am and i was really sleepy but all I could think about was when I had been in hospital 15 years earlier, for an extended stay. It brought back all the happy memories, not the sad or scary ones, and was quite reassuring really.
She ended up being put on a nebuliser to calm her breathing, which is also a bit of a childhood memory as my sister Debs has been on a nebuliser many times before so I vaguely knew what to expect and could explain it to H who had never experienced it before.
After that she was mostly fine, though very shivery, apparently due to the meds. We got a taxi back home, now in the morning dawn which was confusing, and headed slowly back to bed.
Needless to say, I haven't done much since and my brain is still a bit foggy!!
Now I'm off to a restaurant for chocolate puddings as part of the handing over of the chocolate society commitee. Will attempt to take some fun pictures to show you.
Hope you have a less eventful day then me.
Speak soon

Just to say....

Hello. I'm alive really!!
Just been very busy with work and exams and then sneezing, lots of sneezing!!
I've got a lot more free time on my hands now so hopefully might be around a bit more.
Might also get on with my scrap booking of Barney's baptism, though that could be tricky with my printer being dead :-(.
Also in store is possibly some more Wom adventures from Barney (but I wouldn't hold your breath for it!!)
Speak soon I'm sure.
