Now over a week into this adventure, and fortunately the 'OhMyGodI'mGoingToBeADaddy' shock only really lasted 24 hours, manifesting itself in a cocktail of pleasure/anxiety and becoming a sleep-deprived drunken mess in the middle of Greenwich. Bless Helen for not taking the piss out of me too much and getting me home safe... [He's quite fun to roll into a cab!-'len]
In my typically detached and annoyingly practical manner, I'm currently considering the appraisal/repair and consolidation of all things material (namely flat and vehicles) in preparation for parenthood. This should make me feel more at peace with the world.
London flat (which I'll be renting out in a few months) is currently a shithole that needs a complete new heating system, new kitchen, new lounge and extensive decorating to ALL other rooms. Oookay then...
Current vehicle fleet: 1 x classic car in need of work, 1 x elderly middleweight motorcycle unsuitable for long motorway journeys and also in need of work, 1 x roadworthy (just) moped, 1 x unroadworthy moped currently lying in pieces on the workbench of a one-armed lunatic in middle England.
Required vehicle fleet: 1 x reliable decent sized family car that will need no work for least a year, 1 x reliable middleweight motorcycle with good luggage capacity that can get me to London and back every week without requiring regular treatment for piles.
Worried? Me? Nah!"
