Running On Empty
Jun. 29th, 2021 10:40 pmLockdown traffic... how I've missed you!!
The double-whammy of a 2 week lockdown during school holidays means the roads have been blissfully empty on my daily drive this week, so far - especially at the peak times of school drop-off & pick-up. Usually, when I think it's going to take 30 minutes to get somewhere, I already know that's an unrealistically optimistic estimate, based on traffic levels from about 25 years ago, but this week it's been a conservative estimate, allowing for traffic that hasn't been there!!
Other than that, it's been wet, windy & not the kind of weather for anything other than essential trips to shops & for no one other than foolhardy flooring measurers on their appointed rounds
