Lift

This morning while I was walking to the bus stop, a car pulled up over the road. The window wound down and someone called out asking whether I wanted a lift. It was the people who live over the road towards the end of the row. They moved in about a year ago. I didn't recognize them and didn't recognize the car. They obviously knew who I was. I probably look a bit distinctive in my 'flowerpot men' hat. I said they could give me a lift as far as the terminus. There are bus shelters there. If I went to the nearest stop there aren't any.

Being Welsh

I'm half welsh so I think I'll take thursday off work. It's St Davids day. I can always remember when it is, being on the 1st of a month. My wife and daughter have both got the whole week off. My daughter's finished old job. She starts new job in london next week. We'll need to get the car taxed before she goes.

Insurance

We're not going to bother getting my daughter's car on the road til the end of the month. It's not worth registering it til then because we'd lose 3 weeks of this month. The SORN can stay until then. The insurance where she'll working down south is £300 more than here, costing nearly £1000. you can see why people drive around with no insurance.

A38

I was late getting to work this morning. The A38 expressway is closed. It's not mentioned on the RAC website. It closed from 7:30 so it should be mentioned. It's causing chaos.

I'm a member of the AA. I wouldn't join the RAC now. I think the brother in law is with them. I used to be with National Breakdown. I Don't know who my son is with, he's bound to be with one of them.

I'd have been better off taking different bus, probably the no. 7 which doesn't go through Gravelly. I normally take the no. 65 because it usually takes less time. It doesn't go past the dental hospital now that the Kennedy Memorial roundabout is closed.
