Yay! Who doesn’t love Fridays? Okay, okay… I’m sure there are some people out there who don’t but I am part of the percentage who LOVE Fridays Had a Grandparents picnic at school today. Generally you spend an hour or so wondering around smiling and nodding your head but today I got chatting to a Grandmother and I must just say, I haven’t laughed that much in a while. Thank you for making the picnic so much fun Granny Angela!
On another note, the driving is improving. Getting a better feel for the car. Still a bit jerky changing in the lower gears but I can still count on my fingers the number of times I have driven the car so there is room (and time) for improvement. Got a taste of the enjoyment of driving (some abstract thing everyone kept telling me about when I ranted about hating driving lessons)… I was driving on the highway (at 100 – keeping to the speed limit..) and had the music up (Scissor Sisters – I don’t feel like dancing and Celine Dion – Changes, if you were wondering) and life just felt good. Had to then take the off ramp and concentrate some more so the moment ended but it was good while it lasted.
It’s at times like this when I get slightly philosophical and think about life and how, at this very moment, all over the world someone is dying, someone is giving birth, someone is breaking up, someone is getting engaged, someone is saying good-bye, someone is hugging hello, someone is sick, someone is recovering… There I was feeling life was good but family members of a well-loved colleague were mourning. Life is a juxtaposition of moments.
On that note let me cheer up and lock up and climb back in the car and face the traffic to fetch my love xxx
