An eventful weekend. Many fun elements to remind me life is most definitely worthwhile.

( warning: may contain nostalgia about Old Skool DazeCollapse )

Then, on Coopers Green Lane between Welwyn and St Albans, my front right tyre decided to explode. I wasn't going to change it in the dark on a 60mph road, so I rang the AA; someone else rang the police, which rather surprised me. The AA took an hour and 10 minutes to get to me. This meant I was late for Evensong, but all turned out well in the end, lovely person was met (yay for jacquic being in St Albans!) 5 mins before the service ended, a small glass of pink port drunk and nnyngy kitties stroked. I have a book on Greek phonology to read which hopefully will explain why, when Byzantine sheep go βη, it sounds like "veeeee" rather than "beeeeh".

This morning, was late in for work as I got a new tyre from the tyre place. It led me to wonder about a new Top Gear challenge - the fastest lap round the course on a car with four space-saver spare wheels fitted. Must suggest that to Jezza and the boys. Much comedy value there, I think. I'm sure Stig would enjoy it.

I think I need a Trusty Servant usericon.
