The morning school run was not as mad a dash as usual, due to there being no school traffic. My son was going to holiday club only. Going to school when everyone else is still 'off school' seems shit, but he has friends who go and I remember doing a club once or twice as a youngster.
There's nothing I can change about that anyway.
The darkness outside had fully arrived by the time I finished work. Yet each day has a few minutes of sunlight more as it recedes slowly to spring/summer. I want to make the best of the light and dry weather this year.
I dug out a glovebox atlas of the UK today as my mate and I both expressed an Interest in Edinburgh this year. With our combined promise of getting each other off somewhere as part of a 'singles club who are lazy', I think Edinburgh will be a good start. Comedian Dave Gorman met all the other Dave Gormans's in England and Tony Hawk hitchhiked around Ireland with a fridge but I wondered if my mate and I could visit all the dot places in the back of my UK atlas... Aberdeen through Wick. It would take many separate journeys however but if I wrote about each trip it would be good to look back on when completed.
It dawned on me that my son and I could (even should) be doing something similar with our Friday nights to Saturday afternoons. Maybe when he is a little older. Although I did express to him a desire to walk the spiritual mountain path in Spain which is called ...erm... Campino de Santiago or summat. I think doing that is the only thing on my bucket list (well, that and buy a bucket).
