A few things may be due to change as I’m getting fed up of them. Dial-up is one of these, I admit it’s not a big thing but it won’t be much more expensive to get an ADSL connection and it would be much better. Hopefully I’ll get round to getting a new TV at some point because the current one does actually need replacing, that can wait though.
I have, as many will know because I’ve moaned at them about it, got fed up with not having a car. Getting in to work, doing shopping and all the everyday stuff is fine; I’ve got a bike, no problems. Doing stuff like getting to Budleigh Salterton to go on tour (4 hours on the train and I still needed a lift in a car to get there within 5 hours), or going on company jollies (having to cadge lifts to get there at all) is starting to irritate me. Hiring a car wouldn’t be cheaper. The only option other than owning a car is to continue scrounging lifts.
Here in lies the problem. I could manage without a car, and certainly when you consider how much it would cost per day it got used everything starts to get silly. But at the same time it would drastically increase the number of things I could easily do (I cite washing machines as an example of this, a desperate measure I’m sure you’ll agree).
Apologies for the moany post. More soon very possibly.
