Here's a couple of random, and unconnected, thoughts that floated through my mind recently...
Last night I spotted a sign at a car tyre/exhaust/stuff centre (which may have been Kwik Fit or one of its local rivals) advertising "brakes - lifetime guarantee". It struck me that this is a fairly safe offer for the company to make since, if your brakes fail while you're driving at high speed, the lifetime may be fairly short.
This morning when I was trying to will myself to get out of my nice, cosy bed I found myself in a catch-22 situation. The most immediate reason to get out of bed was to make myself a cup of coffee, but the coffee was necessary to wake up my brain sufficiently to coordinate my body to get out of bed. Since I don't have a maid to bring me coffee in the morning, I had to resort to good, old-fashioned willpower instead. Speaking of Catch-22, I must get round to reading the novel sometime. I seem to recall starting it once, many years ago, but I'm fairly sure I didn't finish it that time.
And now for something completely different...
In one of my recent blog entries (only just over a month ago) I was talking about my band's trip to Devon at the start of October. While I was in Devon I hoped to visit a friend who recently moved down there from North Wales. Unfortunately it turned out he was in London that week so it didn't happen, but he did visit back here a few weeks later. I knew that he had moved to somewhere on the periphery of Dartmoor, but I wasn't sure which end. I discovered on chatting to him that he actually now lives in Bovey Tracey, which is only about a mile away from where I was gigging in Chudleigh Knighton. It's just a shame I'm unlikely to ever get any more gigs there when he might actually be around!
