G was at home today receiving visitors of all persuasions, from the police, insurance, etc
Fortunately, the Volvo was returned, clean & beautiful, before I needed to go to college - a real pleasure to have it back, a proper car with a hand break, a bit of zip & heated seats.
Fancy needing heated seats in the middle of May - 7 degrees today, stormy with heavy showers.
I stayed for too long at college & didn't have time to buy food, had to rush home to go to Coleshill with G for 4.00pm, then on to Erdington to return the hire car, in the rush hour.
It was VILE.
I lost G & couldn't find the horrible hole until G texted the postcode.
We stopped in Coleshill for fish & chips as I was losing the will to live - only had to wait 15 minutes for it to cook.
I have the outline for my next/first novel - starting in 1963, a family drama.
To add a controversial note, I think that it's an abomination that all shops open on Sundays.
I'm sure that life was better when people had to interact with their families/friends for one day a week & were unable to spend.
The good old days when we wore clothes until they no longer fitted or were worn out, when kids had presents for Birthdays & Christmas only, when the only thing "on tic" was the house, for those who had managed to save a deposit.
People run up vast credit card bills buying crap that they don't need.
And another thing......

Is this diatribe a result of the pressures of a return to work, the burglary, the Birmingham rush hour or having to mix with these dire tribes
All of them.
