I went out with a mate to go see another mate of mine today who doesn’t live round these parts anymore owing to uni and the like. He’s not studying anymore, but still lives there as he prefers it. I can’t say I blame him, this isn’t exactly the young person’s capital, but its not bad.
Anyway, we came via Oxford and its wonderful ring-road – what a mess! I’ve never driven around the ring-road before and I don’t think I’ll do it again in a hurry. Its such a mess to navigate. My mate who I was with was telling me where to go as he’s driven it many times and is used to it, whereas I just more or less drive to and from work. Other than the odd little excursion now and then, I don’t go many other places. That pretty much suits me down to the ground – I like driving as long as its a route I know or am comfortable with. I’m not one for just going somewhere on a whim. I have to plan a bit too much for that! Driving tires me out a lot too, so that puts me off long journeys.
Still, it was a nice day out. Its always nice to see people. I mean, I speak to him online quite often, but its not the same as meeting face to face and just goofing about – its far more fun. All in all, a well spent day though
