windrush:
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!Pete.
hi Pete, when I were a 15yr old my boss Gordon Stacey (51) says to me " No man lying on his deathbed has ever said I wished I,d spent more time at work" he may have been right, Mind you he also told me “If it weren,t for the hairs on a gooseberry everyone would call it a grape” so make what you will of it, I did
