| FRIDAY: I HAD a Nissan Bluebird this morning. Perfect run up, nice body shape and tuck. Then the bugger floored it. Next mountain-to-climb: an Eddie Stobart lorry, a towering aircraft carrier to my plucky 12bhp Greenpeace dinghy. I had reached 'Stob' when it pulled out to overtake a crawling Mini Metro. It goes on, it gets worse. The wind shifted, the road climbed and my speed sagged to 57. Eddie Stobart, Mini Metro and Nissan Bluebird grew inexorably in the NSR's mirrors, then took me back, their withering glances prickling my thickening skin. There was exasperation -why doesn't the silly git change up? There were useful tips on roadcraft - Aye mate! Learn to ride. And this could be any morning for any learner. I had conveniently forgotten that L-plate life is one brilliant overtake followed by 20 acute embarrassments. That each outing is a shall-I-shan't-I: yes, go, stop, now go | |
