My new-second-hand-car, was finally ready to be collected on Wednesday afternoon, there were a few problems with it and thank God for my brother-in-law who is able to fix.
I'm a nervous wreck driving around these days. I've been driving my old, gorgeous, reliable, (until it died,) car for the past eleven years and now everything is different. Everything is back to front. Everything is also, suspiciously quiet, what's that all about? I keep thinking it's going to die on me but no, it's just quiet. I now have alien gadgets like, "central locking" and "A/C". I even have,"electric windows". I miss my winder handles, that's the only "A/C" I have ever known and let me tell you, it's worked perfectly fine so far. It's all a bit mind blowing, not to mention that my wipers/indicators are now on the opposite side to my old car, so most times when I want to indicate, I turn on the wipers instead.
On Friday, I spent my last day at the Manchester office, in very good company, very funny company. It's a very long time, since I laughed so much, I actually had jaw ache from all the laughing when I left work, it was a great day.
I journeyed home on the train with Lin. We stood on the platform in Manchester in warm sunshine, being kissed by a light breeze, fifteen minutes down the track and we were beneath a canopy of dark grey cloud, being hammered by torrential rain. Don't you love weather? By the time we reached our stop, the rain has been and gone, but everything was saturated and some roads had a little flooding.
It was a good day despite the soggy ending, next Friday, is my last one in this job, then it's onto something new... again.
