- Patience is surprisingly easy for me when I know the situation is beyond my control.
- Laksa cuppa soup is NOT an adequate lunchtime meal if you are not going to eat for another 7 hours.
- Driving a manual vehicle in stop/start conditions can cause the driver’s leg to twitch and the driver’s mood to alter.
- If you and your husband/wife have the same thought on a rainy morning “maybe we should take the Dodge to school today” then that’s a good idea. After all it’s an automatic see no.3 and it’s a 4×4 – leave the Subaru at home.
- The minute you see mums coming to school to pick their kids up …pack up and roll out – those mums know something you don’t!
- Always ask the question; do you need to go to the toilet? Ask this before leaving the vicinity of a toilet – ask it of others and of yourself. You could be about to spend over four hours on the highway.
- Carry spare headphones – otherwise you may spend several hours “enjoying” the audio of Nanny McPhee coming from your Mac and the starving boy in the back of the car.
- Download movies onto your Mac other than Nanny McPhee.
- You can always find a scenario that reminds you of an episode of The Walking Dead … Well maybe not always.. But it worked today.
- You love your dogs a little too much (not really possible) if the main reason you suffered through the four plus hours was to get home to check if they were ok.
- Dogs are always happy to see you…and spend some time inside the house after a long, wet day.
