The car is playing up again. I say again, this is a little unfair really, the last time it played up was over two and a half years ago. But, it was exactly the same fault. That time it was fixed under warranty, this time I may not be so lucky and may be faced with a £750 bill!!! Sodding strong letter to Saab UK if I have! Just learnt today that for the last couple of years I've been wearing the wrong size motorcycle helmet. This is a pain on a couple of accounts. Firstly I've only had that helmet two years so would rather not replace it, although I ought to really. And secondly, I don't really want to be spending £300, especially if I'm going to have to spend £750 on the flipping car. I was wanting to order a sofa as well - not sure if I'm going to be able to do that now! We shall see, hoping that Saab will apologise for the same problem with the car and agree to pay. We shall see. Anyway, I have some feet to rub apparently, so I'm going to make this one a ...

Well another Christmas has now passed us by with little or no changes in life generally apart from a diminished bank balance ...... as normal! My Christmas has been somewhat unusual and yet also very nice; I have actually had one of the most relaxing Christmas’s that I can remember. Christmas Day was especially relaxing which has to be a first for me. My lady and I decided to forego the usual “run around like headless chickens” Christmas Day and to instead take advantage of the extremely quiet roads and mildish weather that this year had to offer and spent the day on our motorcycles. We spent the morning with her on her little 125 getting some practise in, in readiness for her test, (which I don’t believe will be too long in the booking of) and then the afternoon on my 1300 for a ride over the passes of Yorkshire, in particular Woodhead and the infamous Snake Pass. The latter especially was a lot of fun, despite having to keep my speeds below three figures for ...

It has been a good week. As well as putting nearly four hundred miles in on my bike over the weekend, my new lady friend and I have been seeing each other a fair bit and it seems to be going very well. I can't believe that not only have I met a girlfriend who is happy for me to go off on my bike, but actively encourages it ....... or at least if I am happy for her to come along as well lol! I can put up with that lol!! We had a discussion yesterday evening and agreed that trying to see each other every day is not only going to prove very difficult, but could also hurt our relationship in the long term. As such we have agreed that a few times a week is probably a good compromise. I'm happy with that. After all, absence makes the heart ..... etc etc!! To be honest I am struggling a little. I keep having to remind myself that it has only been a couple of weeks, but I am in serious danger of falling for this girl in a big way. I wouldn't say I was there yet, ...

Well things have taken an unexpected turn for the much, much better! Suddenly, it would appear that life is pretty good. My “friend” that I mentioned in my previous blog has since become somewhat more of a friend. It is still very, very early and so I’m not making any long term presumptions. But so far, it is looking good. Certainly, my concerns about the suggestion of a kiss, were completely unfounded and perhaps even totally unnecessary. Am I in love? I’ve “been” with this lady for one week, so without wanting to upset the lady, no. Could I fall in love with this lady? Again, this early on it is difficult to say, but yes, I believe I could. Which is, quite frankly, a little scary!! It is a long time since I’ve felt that way about anyone. I have always been a fan of the word ‘enamored’ though. The definition of enamored is to be captivated and/or being willing to pursue love. In this case, then yes, I suspect that I am enamored!! It is ...
