Spiderman 2 rocks! That's such a good movie. I reckon the reason we don't have any super heroes here is that there aren't enough tall buildings for villains to throw people off -thus needing them to be saved.

Just a theory ;-)

Mazda has a brand new battery -yay! One step closer to being saved. It's being professionally valeted tomorrow which should make it feel all clean and happy. Car paint should be easy to obtain, can sort that out later though. Got my driving test in September, hopefully will pass this time. Those things combined and.....yep, you guessed it, the Mazda will be safe! No junk yard or selling it to complete strangers will happen. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

Thats all for now. Spent today painting the inside of the garage...is over half done now, thank God.

I love swimming. There's something so peaceful about it, sliding your way through the water. The blue giving way to your touch, no matter how gentle....and when you go underneath it all, you're so far away from the real world. Hazy views and bubbles engulf your vision, and you're caputured for a while in a gently swaying cocoon. The weightlessness is such a free feeling. You can float on your back and hide away your ears, make everything far away.

I need that time away from everything sometimes. To be able to think on my own in a totally different but familiar environment, most people do I suppose in one way or another.
Its soo not about deaf taxi drivers!

Used a power jet washer today to clean my car, which has started growing moss because it can't be moved because the battery has gone dead. Well, I say my car, but in fact my dad has decided to remove me from the insurance because it was costing more than the car was worth. hmm.
Anyhoo, back to the jet washer thing. Very cool. So powerful it took some of the paintwork off! The stickers on the back saying the make of car were also jet washed off. Now no one behind the car will know its a Mazda 323. Poor thing. I jet washed away part of its identity. But quite frankly, it should be grateful that I'm washing it at all and not sending it to a scrap yard. It's battery may be dead, but it has served our family well for many a year before that, so I think we owe it to the car to a least try and save it before we abandon it. Too many things are disposable these days. Some car paint, a brand spanking new battery and a full driving licence for me, is all that is needed I think. Lovely.

Just spent a couple of weeks in the south west of England. I like it there :-) The countryside is such a nice change from my concrete suburbia. I needed the fresh air and peacefulness.
Would have been nice to have gone on more holidays in England when I was younger I think. Hmm. Oh well.....bygones.
