The last 2 days have both been ordinary i.e. same shit different day, except yesterday was slightly memorable for 2 reasons A) I had to drive "the pride of the fleet" - a 7 year old truck with about 900,000 "kliks" on the clock, no third gear (synchro buggered on that side of the box - it crunches like hell when trying to select 4th/8th as well as not being able to use 3rd/7th), a manic water leak (putting a gallon of water in the rad' every 100 kliks) and an air leak on the drivers seat which made it like trying to drive while sitting in a bucket and B) it was the 15th anniversary of me leaving the Royal Navy.
Strange how a shitty day coincides with the anniversary. It's happened like that before, and I'm sure will happen again.
I just can't see where all the time has gone, it just feels like a couple of years ago since I hung up my uniform for good.......
p.s. Oh and the 21st of October is also "Trafalgar Day" i.e. the anniversary for both the success of the Battle of Trafalgar, and the death of Admiral, Lord Horatio Nelson.
