WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW ll
Was taken for a ride this morning...
...i.e. not taken for a ride as in being ripped off but genuinely taken for a ride in a very fast car by someone who can really drive. In fact I don't think I've ever been so fast.
Only let older gentlemen drive you fast in cars. They're obviously quite good at it otherwise they wouldn't still be here.
This man's name is David Cottingham, he operates a very highly respected workshop deep in the depths of Bucks. He has restored some of the most famous cars in the world and is a real top banana, the gentlest of souls.
So he's throwing this classic Ferrari around the country lanes and I'm like, "Wow, how much of a buzz is this ?" And he's like, "Well good good, that's good, I'm glad you're enjoying it." Cool as a cucumber.
David is a real smiler, he smiles all the time and has this constant air of calm about him. Quite zen. He used to be a physicist only racing cars at the weekend for fun, then somehow the motor cars took over. They usually do. He's like some kind of genius scientist. There's very little of the petrol head in him, I think that's why we get on so well.
After ten minutes or so, still flying along, I noticed a deep contentment in his eyes, far removed from what the rest of his senses were concerning themselves with, namely keeping half a million poundsworth of fifty year old metal on the road. I suddenly felt myself compelled to steal a slice of his wisdom.
"So, David, what's it all about ? Come on fess up, how come you're so darn sorted ?"
"Well it's simple really Chris," he purred, "I met the right woman."
The right woman in question is his wife Kate. She has been his co-driver both on and off the track for almost forty years now. She is the aspiration, he is the caution. She has kept him moving forwards when he has been tempted to stay where he is. She is the fire in his belly, he the wind in her sails. Together they rock.
"We'd only met each other four months before we got married," he volunteered.
"How did you know she was the one ?" I asked.
"She was different to all the rest," he smiled.
As good an answer as I've ever heard.

Suddenly, I too had butterflies, the skies were brighter (it was August!!), music was louder, I lost over half a stone coz I couldn't eat anything ..... I knew in an instant that this long haired, blue-eyed geezer was gonna be mine.
We saw each other in secret but after about 10 days I came clean to Old One and we split up.
That was in August 1994. We wed in May 1996. And haven't had a crossed word since.
And the best bit? Every night when I drive home, those butterflies are still in my tummy. We still greet each other with a hug and enjoy every second of each other's company.
Great innit!?!?

Good move at the time but as time goes on i've started to have my regrets... Mainly due to the fact I'd recently been seeing someone else but just didn't work out the way I thought it might, which leads me to the question of how do you know when you've met 'the one'?
In saying that I'm only 25 and have no intentions of settling down but can't help the instinct within forever searching for that special someone..

My real world: Humungous dehumidifier in kitchen, plus another humungous blower thingy. Two (yes 2) squares the size of paving stones cut out of the floor (I shudder to think what's down there). My spider catcher is to hand just in case!
Bought a microwave meal on the way home and only just managed to insert myself into the kitchen to heat it up. Next problem is how to get to the sink to wash the plate.
Off to Newcastle tomorrow till Sunday. If the whole place blows up with all these electrical thingys, I don't give a toss.

Not only is it a fab tune, it is an amazing place. Just on the edge of The Joshua Tree National Monument, California. I couldn't put my finger on why, but when I was there I found the place very spiritual. If you are ever driving out to Vegas from San Diego (or LA), take the scenic route and pass through Joshua Tree. You will not regret it.
Oh, and if you see Gram Parsons, tell him I said hi.

Seen that the pig pen next to the lifting bridge is missing yet - a new one will be coming in to replace it as the new ILB doesn't fit the old one.

So what do you do for a living or are you one of life's easier earners having made your money able to live on the interest?

May or may not be in the car for ARF (depends how nicely the traffic plays tomorrow) so someone please let me know who gets that much coveted spot?!

Dragon - dipstick I am - I forget time lapse - traffic control - not too bad with metal birds landing - slight delay 90 seconds instead of usual 60 seconds or something stupid like that!! the problem is over flying high ones making sure they send them off in right direction so you should be alright!
