Dear Aunt Helen , I am writing because yesterday was one of those days when nothing went according to plan . I think you will laugh when you hear the story . I was leaving home at eight because I had a dentist appointment across town . While I was locking the door , my phone was ringing and I was talking to Mom for five minutes . At the bus stop I was checking the timetable when the number seven bus was passing without stopping . The driver was not seeing me because I was standing behind a large poster . I was running to the next stop , but the road was icy and I was slipping once near the corner . A shop owner was watching from the doorway while I was catching my breath . When the next bus arrived , it was full and was not opening the rear doors . Passengers were standing tightly and were not leaving space near the exit . I was deciding to take the tram instead . On the tram platform I was searching for coins while the ticket machine was not accepting my note . Other travellers were waiting patiently behind me . While I was buying a ticket at a shop nearby , the tram was leaving . I was standing on the pavement and was not believing my luck at that moment . Finally I was calling a taxi . The driver was friendly and was asking about my appointment . We were driving through side streets while he was telling stories about winter traffic in our city . I was arriving at the clinic ten minutes late . The receptionist was kind and was saying the dentist was still preparing the room . I was sitting in the waiting area and was reading old magazines . Did the treatment hurt ? It was not painful , but I was feeling embarrassed about the journey . The dentist was laughing when I explained about the bus and the tram . After the appointment I was walking home slowly . Snow was falling lightly and children were playing in the park . I was not rushing because the day was already unusual enough . Please tell Uncle Mark hello . I was remembering his story about missing a train in Dublin when I was waiting on the cold platform . Love , Nina
