pinch punch


the entertainment of seeing myself on 'celebrity weakest link' today was marred by news of another public appearance i'll be making in the near future...at kent magistrates court...regarding a speeding up the a2/m2 violation.

the outcome of which is potentially catastrophic: i might be disqualified from driving for a year.
which will completely screw me as i drive about 20,000miles annually now.
and
with a criminal record, i won't be able to renew my states visa.

i feel sick.
feels like a nightmare that you can take comfort in waking up from...only there's no waking up from it.

:(

i wasn't drunk driving or particularly driving like an asshole...i was doing (allegedly) 75mph on a 70mph road...only there was a temporary 50 mph limit for some roadworks.
the signs had been up for weeks with nobody working so drivers had been ignoring the signs.
i saw the camera van and didn't slow down thinking i was doing the legal limit,
what a fool.
and i already have 3 points on my license from the r32 days.

badly jetlagged: couldn't get to sleep last night...then couldn't wake up this morning.
started the day with a family trip to orpington to see the dentist collectively.
i was the only person due a filling.

super-tired all day.
but WAS feeling like my creative batteries were charged up good until i went through the last two weeks' post...and got this summons.

mum-mum and dad-dad over for the weekend.
spent all afternoon clearing the budleas from round by the pool and had a big ol' bonfire in the evening.

went to bed drunk to drown my sorrows.
