desperanceHow many times have I started a new book, got far enough along to snatch a breath, to think "Phew, here we go, just getting into things nicely," glanced back over what I've done - and then ripped it all up and started again?
That would be none, actually. Not ever. Never.
Never till now.
*tears up a dozen pages, starts again*
In other news: there is a Ferrari parked on the corner. When I say 'on the corner', I mean this in a very literal sense: on the pavement, where it widens to swoop around the corner of the park. Presumably its owner doesn't want to risk the beautiful object in any legal parking spot, and so plants it where it can most inconvenience pedestrians but should be safe from accidental damage. Hmmph. I am not the kind of person who drags his keys along the flank of a costly car, just because it's there - but it is there, and it didn't ought to be, and much as I love Ferraris, I still wish someone in authority would come along and give it a ticket. But they won't.

Date: 2006-11-13 08:44 am (UTC)I have developed the habit of parking in remote corners of car parks where I have to do the unthinkable, I walk a bit further to where I want to get to. My method means that I usually find a nice parking space, don't have to squeeze into barely big enough gaps and don't have to worry about the paint work on my car. Roadside parking I only park with my wheels on the pavement if that is explicitly how it is designed to work - there are a few placed here that have lines painted onto the pavement for parking, and a wide enough pavement that pedestrians/wheelchairs are not inconvenienced.
