Distraction
There's a thing. Apparently inflation got well into double digits in the 70's and 80's, and the man on GB News says that's where it's heading now. So why am I not too bothered by this? I can't remember anything about it when it happened before because I was too busy living my life. The only thing I remember is that mortgage interest rates were very high, and took a big chunk of my wages.
In 1976 I passed my HGV test, which set me off on my career as a lorry driver. I put all my efforts into that, no time to worry about how I was going to pay for things. When everything seems to be going tits up, like it might be doing now, distraction is the best way to deal with it. Find something else to occupy your time. Distraction and resilience will see us all through.
A quick look through my diaries. A job on a chemical tanker for BRS Derby. A typical work pattern.
Monday. 2 runs, Birmingham and Bromsgrove. Parked at Burton Depot.
Tuesday. Deliver Fontburn. Night out at Boroughbridge. Stayed with Lady Trucker Alison.
Wednesday. Deliver Hazards green. Night out just outside Pembury on an Industrial Estate. Boring.
Thursday. Back to Derby. Load for Bewl bridge. Night out in layby at Eynesford.
Friday. Deliver Bewl Bridge this morning. return to derby and defect vehicle. Home tonight.
And the next week.
Monday. Deliver Vauxhall Ellesmere Port. Back to Derby, load for Wearhead. Night out at Wetherby.
Tuesday. Delivered Wearhead. pick up Sulphuric Acid from Grimsby. Night out at the Truckstop at Heath Chesterfield.
Wednesday. Unload the acid at Derby. Load up and go to Bedford and Luton. Home tonight.
Thursday. Load at Derby for Broxburn and go. Night out at Lanark, stayed in the cab.
Friday. Start at 6am. Back to Derby. load a tank for Neil. Then load and go to Stoke Ferry. Night out in Donnington.
Saturday. Unload early at Stoke Ferry. Back to Derby at 11.30 am and finish.
Work kept me busy, and now I am organising my retirement. Filling the hours, days, and weeks are my therapy. Each day is a bonus. Are you keeping busy?
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
