Karma or Calmer
Mar. 4th, 2015 09:02 pmI was supposed to go to an Appropriate Adult party this evening, but didn't really want to go. It's been a frustrating week and the thought of having to drive to the party not long after getting home from work (a 30 minute drive given the traffic at that time of day) and then Make Polite Conversation, wasn't appealing. But I couldn't think of a way out of it.
My car also had its MOT and service today and just as I was about to leave work to pick it up the garage phoned, to say that there were a couple of things that I ought to consider having done. I did enquire about bringing the car back, but since one of them was have a new battery, which they said was important, since it had cut out on them and might not start for me, I agreed to them doing it. Which meant that by the time I got home it wasn't worth going to the party.
In other news, son now has a complete set of driving licences: tractor, car, motorbike, vehicle up to 7.5 tonne, automatic PSV (bus), manual PSV (coach), rigid lorry and, from today, articulated lorry. Meanwhile, daughter has been Nurse in Charge on a couple of night shifts.
