Saturday 13th April
Just at a time when I still need all the sleep I can get ready for the return to work, we get a very disturbed night. Just after 4am a couple of 20ish year olds who had been drinking drove their car into the back of the car parked opposite our house. I went out along with Simon our next door neighbour to make sure they did not scarper before the police arrived. They were both cuffed and spent the night in the cells. From what I can see they have probably written off 2 parked cars, maybe their own as well, and put a dent in Simon's which was parked in front of ours. Somehow both of ours were left untouched though, maybe at long last our luck has started to change for the better!
So at about 4.45, after a chat with the police outside, Mandy and I were sat in bed having a cup of tea. It then took us ages to get back to sleep.
After that the day has been very uneventful. Tesco, lunch, into town to get my name printed onto my Macmillan running t-shirt, deliver present to friend for 50th birthday and collect some sponsorship money for my half marathon.
So far not getting wound up about the scan on Monday. There is no reason to as it is just the scan with no results but that probably won't stop me on the day.
We had used the analogy before about being on a train and not being able to get off even if you wanted to. Well it has been sat in a station for a while but will be pulling out again, with us on board, on Monday. Already the rail company has changed the timetable of course, destination was supposed to be reached April 25th, but due to leaves on the line or some such shit it now won't arrive until May 23rd. We will see if we can find a bullet train on Monday though that we can swap to!
Cheers
Tim
