sunsets and travelling with family

at dad's.
two days ago i drove here in a hired car after delays with paperwork meant that I couldn't have car yet. so, in new upgraded hire car from 1car1 (very reasonably priced!), I spent EIGHT hours travelling up tot he lake district. yes, eight hours. 2 hours travelling across london on saturday morning - may have been less fuel if travelling at normal pace, but heck, the computer didn't know about the fifteen diferent diversions that day [nor the ineptitude of the driver to recognise a diversion sign in advance...]
so - here now - drove dad to his show in norht wales last night - and back again - had choice not to but decided would help him out AND allow for me to get more used to the car, more used to driving longer distances and also driving at night.
so, after two filling scones, a walk in grange over sands and a consideration of many differnt things, I'm here on a monday night, feeling slightly restless, slightly relaxed and glad to be with my family once more. partly want to go out though...LOL
hope you are well reader.and to matt who is hopefully reading this agin soon - my phone ran out of huice so apologies i didn't call you back - will text when back in london - which, for everyone's benefit, will be around friday

also -if i forget - don't forget everyone -
total LUNAR ECLIPSE - WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
