Fickle female

Yesterday.......now let me think, oh yes, I recall now though it seems some time ago.

PG and I had arranged to go shopping after he finished work at 2 pm, I could tell he was enthralled with the idea, try as he might to hide his excitement at the prospect of an afternoon off shopping he couldn't disguise it, it was the positive and enraptured response to the suggestion that gave it away.....NOT! Severely lack lustre would be a closer description in fact!

And so it was, barely out of bed, sun shining and the prospect of the real world not an hour and a half away I decided to go alone, this decision did not displease PG. My destination was to be Edinburgh, purely on the basis that it it marginally closer then Newcastle, and so off I set. The route, assuming one doesn't use the A1, is stunning, winding open roads and unending vistas of hills and turns in all shades of greens and browns.

For me it is a somewhat frustrating journey, never before have I seen roads more suited to being traveled on two wheels. Quiet, winding, smooth, fast, just perfect. There are innumerable bends that I defy anyone, who has any passion whatsoever for motorcycling to be able to ride, without at least attempting to make contact between knee slider and tarmac! Do I miss it?...hell yeah I miss it and I do so wish, that on each occasion I make this journey, some leather clad smart ass wouldn't rub it in by 'doing his stuff' within my line of sight! I could spit feathers of frustration and envy as I potter along unexcitedly in my little car.

My destination arrived at I made purposefully for my first intended purchase, a new cell phone. Of course, having done my research on the internet prior to making the trip, what happened....they didn't have the phone I wanted...no one did.... so what did I do? I'll tell you what I did, what I always bloody well do, I singed another years contract for a different one. I was not, having driven 70 miles going to be thwarted at this point but of course I should learn. I know my self better than that. I love gadgets, I had researched my quarry thoroughly and I knew almost as I signed I would not want what I had signed for once I arrived home and I was right. It just wasn't quite what I wanted, in fact it was far from it.

I am a Nokia woman, I have been for 15 years, this interloper is not Nokia. Life is too short to fight with new menu systems and buttons, places strategically to trip up ones fingers, for weeks on end, missing calls and sending unintelligible messages, I knew that it would aggravate me, I should have had patience but no, I had to have it now! ......I checked the contract, I have 14 days within which I may return it, so now I have to drive all the way back again..........or maybe you will see it on Ebay sometime soon. Arggghhhhh

Is it any wonder guys consider us women fickle on occasion? Lol.
