Just a Quick One...

Well, they've let me out for the weekend, and I have watched the madness from my hospital bed all week, hahahahahahahah.
I just love the way that us Brits will cut each others throats in a crisis.
"40 loaves of bread please shopkeeper. And while I'm filling my belly with Mother's (diminished) Pride, I'll put some 4 star through my cat' converter and fuck the engine. Just for the feeling of 'having' some fuel!"
I'm glad that this manic part of the world got a chance to just 'slow down' for ten minutes, and maybe one or two folk remembered what legs were for! Shame that the UK's 'car free day' is only a few days away. Most of the Petrolheads will be driving their litle asses off by then, feeling elated and jubilant and reborn.
Weirder to me, this full moon heralded a new lease of life for me.
The same day that I found a pain killer that allows me to walk for the first time in 2 years, I get given a car! I have never had a car, or wanted one, and right in the middle of the fuel crisis, while I'm in hospital, I become the proud owner of a 1970's Triumph Saloon. I wouldn't *entertain* the thought of driving it, but it's got a dial on the dash that says "Third Dimension Sound". I am falling hopelessly in love.... now how can I get a fuel cell in the bugger... ;-)
Bee Blessed
I'm coming out...

Ole indeed! I've shared a room with a dozen gummy-monsters, septagenarian arthritic females that deal brain death and platitudes on a permanent wave-length. ME? Saved at the last moment by inclusion of an old Irish jazz/swing singer who has toured the world on music and settled in Spain for 8 months of the year! His stage name is, wait for it, 'Benny Ridgeway!'
A quiet Head with the voice of an angel, and hope for the world.
I am reborn(ish).
I'm thinking of auctioning a Triumph 2500S, complete with 3rd Dimension Sound (a fantastic buzz-bass speaker that rises from the rear of the car!) for the cause. Any suggestions!?
