I was in no fit state to trek across the mountains after my operation, but TPR made me do this so that he could watch Star Trek films at the university cinema, snuggled up to a couple of women, who we used to know from our undergraduate days (CG and TS).

Worse for me, the minute that I was spotted on campus, HR staff made a beeline for me, assuming that I was back at work after my operation.

I headed out of the main building and hunted for the bus stop. Although I had no change on me, it would be worth paying extra to get back home to the sanctuary of my sick bed.
