Well, all this nonsense is over for another year. I look forward to hitting the sales, even though there is very little I need or even less want. At long last I am reading The DaVinci Code, and I can see what all the fuss finally is all about. I was probably one of the last people to read it, it was a book that I had seen everywhere, from backpacks to bus stops, cars to train stations. Finally my brother got it for me. I am engrossed by it, it is very cleverly written, with enough twists to always keep you eager for the next page, but all feeding into one cohesive story.

I have my polo outside, and myself and my uncle went out to have a look. It is definately not for me, even the indicator switch is too short, and hard to get to.There is a safety feature in the polo, that means because it has a creep function, before you can turn the ignition key, you have to have keep the break depressed at the same time. Bar being blessed with three hands, how you are meant to do this in a car with hand controls is absolutely beyond me. It will be going back, but the car salesman is so nice and has given me time to think it over.

One day, I will finally put down all about the car issue, but at the moment it is just too raw. I can't justify spending thousands on modifications, considering that I have a progressive illness, and that even those modifications may not be enough this time next year. I think I am better off taking my time, and concentrating on keeping a healthy bank balance. My friends collected me on saturday in their renault clio and that is the car for me. Even the seats were so comfortable. In Ireland though finding an automatic car is like finding a needle in a haystack, but I made the mistake of just grabbing the first one that came along. Act first, think later seems to be an inescapable part of my personality, and has always caused me a lot of problems. I seriously need to learn the emotionally intelligent art of delay gratification.
