Halfway Home.......

My sojourn in Devon is over. A quick four hour dash up the M3 on Saturday, has seen me both halfway home geographically, and "back home" figuratively, as I am in Tonbridge again.

I'm just loitering here for a week, staying with friends, whilst attempting to buy a car. As I have a) Never owned a vehicle before, much less bought one. b) Am on a budget. c) Am a complete mechanical fuckwit; it seems a much better bet to do this here, where I can call on the sage opinions of the "the boys in the pub", rather than try to avoid getting ripped off in Northampton.

After some serious research I have decided it needs to be a reliable runner, big enough for my legs to fit under the steering wheel, and prefferably not a putrid colour. Beyond these exacting criteria I am open to anything the the Honest Johns of the region have to offer.

Next week, when I am finally back at Quotidian Towers, with my own computer and all my funky sofware I'll have a mountian of Devonian wildlife pictures to upload. Meanwhile I am getting to grips with my host's laptop. This is proving a frustrating exercise, as despite being a tip-top, modern machine, the keyboard layout has my sausage fingers completely foxed. Give me a big clunky desktop any day. I keep accidentally turnING THE CAPSLOCK ON , AND REPOSitioning the cursor all over the shop. This post has taken me nearly an hour to type so far, and it's not even very funny.

Probably a good cue to stop wAFFLING, and start reading Autotrader.
