Notes on the City Trip.

What has happened to the jeans market? I couldn’t find Wranglers or Levis anywhere, so I had to buy a pair of store jeans. Still, they fit better than my current best jeans.

Thanks to Rob at the New Vic Theatre for the company, computer advice, coffee and chips.

When I told Ahdia (who I’ve mentioned before on this blog) about my fatigue symptoms, she asked ‘Are you sure you’re not pregnant?' If I’d thought her cognisant of my earlier dream post, I would have said that the question fell a touch short of diplomatic.

I noticed that the serving wench I talked about once (the one with auburn hair) has unusually lively eyes and an extensive – though not unnatural or exaggerated – array of facial expressions. That was today’s main revelation.

The ice cream van over there sells ice cream a damn sight cheaper than the one that never turns up in Ashbourne. So not only can I not get a vanilla ice cream in Ashbourne, it’s bloody expensive to boot.

Most of my driving these days is done on rural roads and in small towns. Driving in urban sprawl requires an adjustment of style and attitude, and I find myself becoming aggressive and impatient. I often stoop to yelling at other drivers things like ‘why not use your f***ing indicator, you f***ing bozo?!’ That can’t be good for the soul, can it?
