I realise it's been a very long time since any sort of update has been put in this record of my day-to-day life. I'm not upset, it's just that I've been busy.

Some things that have happened in the last few months:

Moved house
Got promoted
Twisted my ankle

What I really want to talk to you about, and I'm sure you'll listen, is a fairly new phenomenon that has started to happen to me. Here, let me get that for you:

As I have now moved house, my drive to work has increased in length by approximately 400%. It used to take me 5 Earth minutes to get from point A to point B. Now it takes roughly 20 minutes from point A to point B; but I must concede that I have been blessed with little traffic thus far. I can see it getting longer.

As a result of my drive having been lengthened, the incidence rate for mishaps has also increased. I have to deal with not one, not two, not three, but actually three roundabouts on my way into work. Two of these are equipped with traffic lights in order to usher you through. However, one of them does not have any lights whatsoever.

This troublesome little tyke has three roads coming off of it, in a sort of triangular fashion. I have to take the second exit, which is where I start to experience this problem that I have... Whenever I pull out onto this roundabout, someone always pulls across in front of me. It doesn't matter how fast I am travelling, someone will always do it. It's very dangerous, very annoying, and very dangerous. It leads me to believe that perhaps my car is invisible when viewed from a certain angle, such is the frequency of this occurrence.

And it doesn't stop there. It happened to me twice at lunch today, and this was a completely different roundabout altogether. I also recently drove down to Plymouth for a weekend excursion and it happened countless times.

It really gets my goat, you know? I put it down to the fact that no one understands the rules of the road any more. Come on, Government, pull your finger out and send everyone a copy of the highway code, then at least I can have a nice trouble-free sojourn to work every now and then.
