Another New Year (M25)
Well, here we go again.
Christmas was good, ate loads drunk even more and generally celebrated as much as possible.
Back in work mode now, joining that never ending crawl on the M25. I think I know how to speed it up, get more police on there so that they can catch the dodgy drivers poodling along at 35mph in the fast lane. Seriously, in the intervening week between Christmas and New Year there were people who just seemed to be totally unaware of any other road user. This must apply all year around it' s just that they were more visible then. On one occassion I was enjoying the free flow of the fast lane cruising at a respectable rate when all of a sudden BRAKE !!!. Has someone crashed, had someone/something run into the road, had there been some sort of extraterrestial event. NO! just someone thought they might like to brake, maybe they suddenly realised that they were doing 37mph and had better slow down.
Went for a bike ride on Monday, first for about 25 years. It was quite nerve racking, all that confidence you have as a child has gone and you feel like you are going to fall off at any minute, which I did once. Still I did enjoy it. It is all part of my "Give Up Smoking" campaign. I have now been free of the weed for 67 days and feel quite proud. I thought New Years eve would be a struggle being in a bar fall of smokers and smoke but it was OK and you could definately tell the difference the next morning. You do notice that your clothes smell and it is probably the smell that I dislike the most.
However I have put on a couple of pouns, (28 pounds to be exact) which means that I will have to buy some more clothes, but will save on lilo's when we go to the beach.
Well thats me for today catch you all later.
