Descending into Madness

Desmond79

Today, I bought a new car. And I also modified the alias on my primary email address; the alias I used will be out obsolete in June 2022. Of course, there were shouting sessions along the way. Also, sensory overloads causing me to go mad.

I spent tonight drinking coffee and listening to Interstellar Overdrive - Syd Barrett's Acid-Fueled masterpiece. Tomorrow I have to register my car for tax purposes. Coalisland Post Office will do it; I am heading to a woman outside that town to get my PIP form professionally filled.

The new car is a 2015 Vauxhall Insignia. A saloon; driving it will be a culture shock since I'm so used to Hatchbacks. I like driving wee roads to avoid traffic. I don't want to be an A-Hole with a wide car flying on tiny roads.

Life. It's amazing.

    My Astra is 19 years old - unfortunately, it's the best all-round car I ever owned so I'll be upset to lose it when it finally breaks..

    Taxed my car, at Magherafelt Post Office, this morning. The bad news was that the staff were busy stock-taking. But the good news was that there was no queue. Had I taxed the car in Coalisland, as the dealer suggested, I could have been waiting quite a while.

    I'm beginning to get used to the modern handbrakes. They're a nuisance. But so far, so good.

    Good to have the beepers. My manoeuvring is pathetic. The three-point-turn was my first major let down in driving lessons. I had to practice at the disused farmyard.

    Plus, the car is saloon-sized; but officially a hatchback. My roads are small. I'll be going slower in this one.
