All Apologies

He told a story. I won't tell it to you now. It was about life, death, being a bystander or taking part. He apologised for his "silly thoughts". They weren't silly in the slightest. They were observational, philosophical, thoughtful, thought provoking. I would have told him so but we don't speak anymore. Once, when we did speak, I told him off for being too self deprecating. He asked me what that meant and so we looked it up in a dictionnary which he always kept nearby. He laughed. He had an open mind and a hunger to learn. What else should he be.

How to drive

At 830am when one is on ones way to work the following is how not to drive in front of one.
1. Appoximate speed 10 mph
2. Brake on seeing on coming traffic (its a main road for the love of all thats earthly)
3. Stop at every junction, with minor side roads, to let traffic onto the main road
4. Stop at every parked car just in case they might decide at some point in the near distant future to pull off
5. Indicate right then take 10 minutes to make the turn even though 3 consecutive cars were polite enough to stop to let you make your turn.

As a general plea, if this sounds like how you drive, could you please have a lie in tomorrow morning till I get to work on time.

Shhhhh

It's all so nice and quiet here. I like it. No noise. No bother. Lovely.
