3 Good Things (Redux)

Desmond79

Since the thread, which began May 2021, seems to have vanished, I wish to create a new one. 

From Darkness to Light. Smiley

1. I paid for a condensed tumble dryer, which I reserved on Tuesday; for delivery, tomorrow. Also paid for a three-year warranty. (In cash) 

2. I made a poem, entitled 'Storm in a teacup', about the arrival of Agnes. (SEYMOUR!) 

3. Bought more Farm-Fresh milk today.

  • 1. Had my Key Worker appointment, this afternoon.

    2. I'm drying the laundry, from yesterday's tumble drying, outside; as they're still moist.

    3. I avoided FIVE separate incidents with other drivers, today.

    Let me preface this by stating that you are one of the more lovely posters here, and I mean you no disparagement at all.

    If I had FIVE separate incidents with other drivers, I'd be serious questioning either the quality of driving standards in the area in which I lived OR I'd be asking myself some hard questions about my own driving ability.

    I probably don't get that many in a year... I do see a lot of stupid manouevers and unneccesary braking etc, but it rarely affects me as I anticipate and deal with other peoples errors usually slightly before they do.

    Driving is either scary or boring if you only drive your own car, it becomes much more enjoyable when you expand your situational awareness to be able to exert some conscious control over not only yourself but THEM. 

    Admittedly, I served a few years being as close to a professional road race driver as it gets (field service engineer, working for the banking sector)

    Hell is other people. As Sartre said.

    I have become much more relaxed of driving lately.  As long as I can keep myself safe, I don't care for other road users. People have their own lives to live and if they want to drive like a nutcase that's entirely up to them. There's no point getting irate and spoiling my own day.  I used to have a chip on my shoulder about big or fancy cars, but I've dealt with that now as well.
