As some of you may know I had a volvo, before my current car, and before I got banned from driving. For a long time this 20 year old car has been sitting on my parents driveway, basically just causing an obstruction. For a while I had the intention of putting it on e-bay; the idea of advertising ‘One volvo, doesn’t start’ really appealed to me.
Although it didn’t appeal to me quite enough to actually do anything about it.

Fortunately for me (and perhaps more so for my parents) the local council recently ran a scrap car amnesty. So now, after just over a year, the trusty volvo that served me so well has left. Gone. Finished. Scrapped.

A bit sad perhaps to see my first car go the way of the crusher (I assume at least) but then given my procrastination of selling it, pretty predictable.

So long trusty volvo, you will not be forgotten.

btw it didn’t have a name, I don’t do that kind of thing to cars.

Dislike early mornings anyway, I think it shows I’m not getting enough sleep when I wake up in the morning, look at the clock and simply think ‘Go Away’. A thought directed at time itself.
When my alarm did rudely awaken me from that happy place know as sleep all I could think was ‘why Why WHY!’

On a completely different note, I noticed today that the author of a photography book on Low light photography that I own is called ‘Lee Frost’.
Now I don’t know about you, but if that was my name I’d be hard pressed to resist the urge to go out, get a son, and call him Jack. At the soonest possible moment.

I went shopping this morning, I nearly bought a book called ‘Teach yourself: Speed reading’, but I’d finished it before I got the the check-out.

Comedy drum hit PLEASE!

I am a worrier, and recently I’ve been trying to get over this. As I think I’ve said before, worry can be the straight jacket to action (Yes I did).
I also have a habit of overly planning what I’m going to do, what I should do, and what I could do.
Yup, when the scouts said ‘be prepared’ I don’t think they expected me to take it this far, not that I actually was a scout or anything but hey. I’d plan things like what I would say if I bumped into that guy I knew from school six years ago, for example.
So I’ve been trying to counteract this excessive worry and planning by Living In The Moment. Something I think probably a lot of people do anyway, but for me it’s quite a challenge!
It is quite a meditation/zen monk, spiritual type thing to aim for; to live completely in the moment. Not the past i.e. thinking about whats happened. Not the future, i.e. whats going to happen, but right now.
Admittedly it is sometimes necessary to plan things, like doing washing. But as far as its possible I’m trying to live right now.

Perhaps if I’d planned this post a bit it may have got more of my point across.

That would be ironic.
Perhaps I’ll post a better version when my thoughts are in a better order.
