Just joined Twitter. Daft, I know. You’d think I had better things to do with my time than looking for friends to play with on the net, but if you happen to be on Twitter (or are thinking of joining) do look me up. Would love to twitter inanely with blog friends.
Our big traffic roundabout is now finished, after eight months of road works. But it’s well worth it. You can now turn right out of the village onto the main road (remember we drive on the left over here) without taking your life in your hands. Previously it was a quick prayer and an even quicker dash. It was the number of accidents, several of them fatal, which eventually persuaded the authorities that something had to be done. Of course, they’re refusing to light the roundabout. They’ve put in the necessary cable, but refuse to install lights until they see whether they’re necessary. So that means a few more accidents in the dead of winter, I suppose, before we get any lighting. The village is up in arms about that, but yesterday an ancient milestone was inserted as a kind of ‘topping out’ ceremony and we are all extremely thankful that the roundabout is completed, open for business and working well.
Not that I’ll get a huge amount of use out of it since I retire in August and needs must move away. Oh well. C’est la vie.
