RUSH HOUR

Sorry folks, well those of you who can't sleep or who are bored on night shifts and are sneaking onto the works computer!, I have have just remembered to blog!. A combination of visiting grandparents and excited children, combined with a late return to the house for yours truly, means that I have just sat down for contemplation, relaxation and anything else ending with 'tion'!.
Today was one of those days when everything seemed to be in slow motion apart from the most important thing, time, which seemed to be running at double the speed that I wanted it to. It's always the case, whenever you are in a rush you inevitably get stuck behind a learner driver, a tractor, or someone who knows you are in a rush and so makes every effort to keep his foot wedged on the brake and feed the wheel at an international level. I think we are a nation of 'rusher's' though, it's a given that you will get trampled on in any of the major cities such is the pace of life, bit even in the supposed sleepy backwater of Devon 'time is money'.
There is a saying that we spend the first half of our lives rushing around to save time, only to spend the second half wondering what to do with the time that we saved !!. Whoever said it may be right, and also had lot's of time on his or her hands !!.
Deep breathing needed tomorrow, so it will be a case of sweating on the team coach for seven hours whilst attempting to beat Hodges, Brough and Beavan at cards. Easy!.
