Bloody hell, thats some mileage. Work related or are you doing a spot of traveling, pleasure wise I mean. Just being nosey.During the last six (I think) weeks I've driven 3,400 miles (to indicate the enormity of this, I normally drive around 8,000 miles a year!) ...
A fair amount of which has been accompanied with audio books of early Terry Pratchett novels (largely read by Nigel Planer). As my second experience of audio books (first being American Gods), I've been impressed and it's made the implied chores (riding for pleasure, driving... hmm) a little more than bearable.
Bloody hell, full on that! Hectic.Well, now we're looking at 4,300 miles since the engine change and a bit more time (and that's enough).
Significant feeling trips that I can remember - starting point: always home (Crowthorne, Berkshire)
2 trips to Manchester (funerals) (425 miles each return trip)
3 trips to Lampeter (Picking up Daughter (my wife did that one so doesn't count), daughter's Danish friend and belongings whom we hosted until a week before graduation, graduation, and returning students to Lampeter after 21st celebrations) - 400 miles each return
1 trip to just east of Sidcup 130 miles return (dropping said danish friend over to her boyfriends for a week)
1 trip to Plympton St Maurice 400 miles return (help father unpack from house move)
2 trips to Merriot 210 miles return (helping friend move house, no, move sheds and tools and things like that)
That's 2,800
Plus many sundries within a forty mile radius, but not over the (nearly) last two weeks (where, perhaps, the toll of the above hit hard and `crashed` (not the car) I decided it would be unwise to drive for quite - hence in part not being here or elsewhere online)
I can be a little out of control at times.
Looks good but I rarely go for audiobooks these days, although I do have a soft spot for the Hitchhikers Guide radio plays and the Good Omens one from a year or two back was decent.Just a little hectic, @wazza
Alas that intensity comes with consequences (largely why I've been so quiet).
@dowsing I mentioned the audio book... The 10th Anniversary Full Cast Production of American Gods is the one.
it is often said in your latter year's that you regret the things you have not done rather than the things you have done.A, Sir John. When interviewed for the 1983 tvdocumentary Time with Betjeman he was asked if he had any regrets. His answer was "Yes, I haven't had enough sex."
