Driving for 7 hours up motorway after motorway gives you plenty of time to think about stuff and realise exactly what it is you like or hate in the world.

Today I decided :

  • Kirsty is most definitely The One, something I already knew but has been reaffirmed lately during our enforced time apart. Not having her with me every day is beginning to take it’s toll, but there’s nothing we can do about it so just have to get on with it.
  • I’m going to try and write a book - can’t be that hard surely?

It’s funny how one day, or even one action can forever define either a place or person in your mind.

And these defining moments are all too often negative.

There’s a current media debate about the Hearts footballer Saulius Mikoliunas for example - you may not have heard of him, but he took an unprovoked tumble in a game against Scotland a few months back which led to his team gaining and scoring a controversial penalty, and has now seemed to have become Public Enemy Number 1.
