5th October 2023
Still heavily traumatised by the amount of things to do around the cottage ii needed something to calm myself down. Unfortunately that did nothing to help. Everywhere I looked I saw something to do.
Kelli helped me realise some solutions to organise all the things stacked in the small bedroom.
The other thing that would help take my mind off my current dilemma was a visit to my sister’s new home in Martock.
I started up the Shogun, and slowly joined the first Traffic jam. Bradford on Avon was always busy with vehicles jamming the narrow streets, but add in a road closure and it is pandemonium. Continuing the journey, I then noticed there was only 20% power left on my phone, and there was no USB outlet in the truck, a sharp reminder of how old it was.
So now I had to drive to a place I didn’t know, not knowing how long my phone would last.
The GPS directed me by the shortest route, through places I did not know, but it joined one that I knew very well.
I was now venturing into a route I had taken to Nicola’s old house.
The power was dropping to 10% as I hit another traffic jam where a new road was being constructed, I was getting anxious.
Then I saw the signs to Martock, now I was down to 5%.
I think the GPS was having a laugh, I’m sure it could sense my stress level, and wanted to take me over the top.
It took me through the narrow car lined streets on a complete wild goose chase eventually bringing me back the way I came. I was down to 1% but at least I was in the town so if all failed I wasn’t totally lost.
With my phone breathing it’s last I pulled into the Nicola’s drive, my quest was over.
Another Lifetime to go
