06/13/2002 Archived Entry: “Restless”

I’m feeling very restless, you know that state where you know you want to do something, but you’re not sure what? Well, that’s my current state.

I actually really fancy going out for a ride, but the weather doesn’t look like it’s going to hold, and those tyres are *hideous* in the rain. Really, really horrible. They’re pretty bad when it’s dry to be quite honest.

I’ve just done my passport application – hopefully they’ll send me back a nice shiny passport with some god-awful pictures of me and the correct name/sex on it. I really should have done this ages ago, but I’ve been putting it off until I needed a new passport (which it turns out is fairly soon – ‘cos I’m hopefully off to switzerland for 2 weeks towards the end of August. Which should be funky.

Although with my dad being ill again, although not too badly (we hope) then the whole ‘going on holiday’ think is a bit up in the air. And 700 miles in a Morris Minor (well, 1400 there and back) is, well, quite a long way. On the other hand – I quite fancy the idea of writing it up as a magazine article and flogging it to one of the classic’s mags, or to a holiday mag…

Depends if my writing is up to it….

It’s also a chance to get out and about with a camera again – although there’s loads to do – check the RAC cover, check the Insurance, get travel insurance….

Scary stuff.

Anyway, I’m off to say thanks to the morris minor centre….who came out and fixed my car….
