johnny9fingersI may just have tempted the fates once too often with my 'Where is the bus that mounts the pavement' routine. Not that anything is wrong between myself and Madame: far from it - my life is brimful of the sort of love I never thought to find. However, my car driving, parking, and assorted other things have taken a huge dent out of my savings.
After the 'Wirral Breakdown', and the concomitant tow-away idiocy, I hoped the car troubles would be over. The car is now fixed, and as reliable as usual: but I'm getting caught, left, right and centre.
I have, for want of spending more time with Madame, being driving her to the nearest tube, which is Brixton. Apparently, the small road I have been using to turn in is a designated pedestrian area between the hours of ten ay emm and four pee emm Mondays to Fridays. Some days I've dropped her off early, some days later....
The first fine of £120 (reducible to £60 upon prompt payment) came through the door on Tuesday.
No points on the licence, thank the Gods.
Then, of course, I was sessioning at TPA and drove in. Denmark Street is closed off for major drain repair work. Traffic is at a standstill. I made an illegal turn and was caught on camera by the London Borough of Camden, God love 'em. Another London traffic violation.
Driving is becoming pretty punitive, and I only drive from need, but....London is off limits to cars during the day. The curfew is as effective as it was in Ancient Rome.
Anyway, I'm a lot poorer at present, dammit. No new Telecaster with a B bender. No new acoustic, either. Will the Gods of Hubris whom I have offended please take my heartfelt pleadings for mercy into account and desist.
But honestly, what do I care if I'm stripped to the bone as long as I have Madame; and milady Aphrodite will no doubt take my side, and even other Gods have sex lives.....

although someday I'm going to visit that fair city. I hear it's quite nice and the people are interesting and decent :)
Aphrodite be with you! :) (actually it sounds like she is, in the arms of your lady)
