Things I Think About

I laugh just writing that title. Anyone who knows me shudders, I’m sure. As we continue on this oh-so-slightly-crazy adventure, certain things have become common place, like driving on the wrong side of the road – or even more adventurous, I feel, is crossing the street on foot! And, now that we have gotten used to driving on the left, we leave in two weeks for France… where my brain will be even more challenged as I try to speak French. Pray for success😵

Back to the subject at hand…my brain and its thoughts. Cars. See, I constantly pay attention to the cars around me. Now, this is a good thing when driving, except that I’m noticing all the cars going the other direction, along the streets, and everywhere else. It’s pretty annoying because I can’t not see them. And then I contemplate what I see. This all happens quickly. Then, I start talking out loud about it and nobody else saw what I saw. Sigh. See the problem?

The cool thing here is that I notice what’s not readily available in the US. And I find this fun and interesting – maybe you are thinking “weirdo”, pppffftttt…whatever.

Volkswagen Amarok. Super cute! Yes, I did filch this photo off the web. Once I was looking for one to take a photo of, I couldn’t find any.

Volkswagen T-Roc. I would totally buy this car. It’s even cuter in blue. It is a Golf SUVish type thing. Love it. I did not filch this , I know where this one lives.

This is apparently a Fiat. I did filch this photo off the web. At the time that I saw it I think I was too busy being appalled that someone thought this car was a good idea to actually take a photo. Oh, and I was driving at the time.

Enough on cars. Now for other things that appeal to my brain. Brexit. Does not appeal on its own, but as a living soap opera, it’s quite interesting. Unfortunately, it’s real and it is people’s lives. But that does not mean I can not look for the funny side (and there are many of them) –

Not that there’s anything funny about a possible hard border. Just that there are town meetings about it. BTW, this was taken in the Republic of Ireland.

Sorry about the bad quality on this one. But, the elephant in the room…LOL.

Now for some other random items that have appealed to me…

This is a Ford Kuga. I think it’s the same a Ford Escape. But that’s beside the fact. It’s that it has three Alaska stickers on it. Certainly got my attention!

This is our favorite breakfast/coffee place in town. The Coffee Doc. Their kids meals come in first aid boxes. Love it!

Steady Eddie’s is another favorite place. Eddie is Filipino with a Northern Irish accent. The food is eclectic. So is the decor.

Just a favorite photo of the town park. It’s so pretty.

I know this is seriously random, but these are some of the bizarre things that I think about. Expect more posts like this on occasion, sometimes I just have to let it out.🤪

Next post should be a bit more normal – and maybe even interesting – as we go on the road again.
