Up to My Usual Tricks

True to form this afternoon, I walked into a tyre-fitters for a $24 wheel balance and came out with a new steering arm joint, two new tyres and a wheel alignment. Comforting to know the state of my steering system AFTER racing down to Lismore and back last week in the torrential rain! In other circumstances I might have been a bit peeved to wait the extra time in a mechanic's waiting room, but as it was I drifted into the gentle delirium that comes of having a really soggy cold and let Martha Wainwright sing to me for two hours as I dozed and watched the rainclouds grow and sulk away through the glass.
