I finished work and driving HGV’s 14 years ago but still wake up at 4.30-5am most mornings as old habits die hard I guess? Would start driving again tomorrow if things were still as they were when I finished and personal issues were different, I am currently waiting for my HGV licence to return from Swansea but I feel alas that it may not be granted as it has been gone a month. However I keep myself busy repairing vehicles, restoring vintage engines and machinery and doing odd jobs for neighbours etc which makes me feel that I still have something usefull to contribute to the world rather than just festering away until I turn my toes skywards! That said, it is nice not to be outside at 4.30am scraping the car windscreen and then 20 minutes later doing the same to the truck!
