Plain Trains and Automobiles

A new exhaust was required this week, after driving to Wales last week with a detour on the way back to pick the kids up from North Nibley (snigger) nr Gloucester, I eventually got home sounding like I was making preparations for a Monster Truck competition across the pond. So during the week I’ve been getting the train to work which maybe cheaper than the petrol I put in the car? Though I have to cycle 15 minutes to the station, lock up my bike and then walk 30 minutes from the other end of the line to work. I’ve found out I can actually take my bike on the train only I couldn’t be arsed to negotiate the terrain in St. Leonards, other than that it’s quite possible some drug crazed lunatic will attempt to rob it from me on the way (nice place). Just up the road from where I work is Part Co., a vehicle parts trade counter, having ordered a new exhaust and associated gaskets I picked it up Thursday to carry home, after a treacherous ride from the station on my push bike I considered it would’ve been a better idea to have the parts delivered to the Eastbourne branch. Anyway, I put it on Yesterday and it’s fine. Off to Wales to see Julie next weekend, communication has been a bit thin on the ground this week as I left my bloody mobile phone on the train.

Saturady Night…

New car, no money, usual trip to Wales… Odd set of circumstances on top, Hmmm, I am in one of those “I have no fucking idea!” situations that usually turn up trumps. I see Russia have taken the opportunity to instigate global chaos in the midst of Olympic euphoria. How strange is that for timing? This world is a complicated network of political obscurity, who would have thought and who the hell are South Ossetia anyway?

080808

I’ve just realised the date:

08-08-08

Isn’t the number “8” considered lucky in China? What time do the Olympic opening ceremonies begin I wonder?

New Thunderstorm Link

What a mental thunderstorm we had last night! Right overhead, best one for a long time. I have updated the Lightning Strike Indicator link as I noticed it showed bugger all last night.

Pics Soon.

The subject of the day has to be my BBQ. My nearest and dearest all convoluted into a frenzy of alcoholic and musical turmoil, with only an odd burger and drumstick to intervene. One of the most prominent times of the year happens to be now…August, as more seems to happen in this month that the rest of the year! I’ve always considered the balance of happiness and necessity, but it seems to be always tipped towards the latter. Is it all really that necessary or should we all just go with the flow?
