Time - and how it passes
Inspired by the Audi R8 advert I was thinking about time, as on occasion I am more than aware of the weighty ticking of a clock and of the passing of time.
Although at other times I am almost completely oblivious to the passing of time and certain events make me think ‘oh, yeah… it is that time again’, or something like that.
So, I was trying to think of all the things that make me consciously think about time. My list thus far: -
1) Ticking clock.
2) Series on television - starting/ ending - I don’t tend to follow them but they amuse me.
3) It gets darker/ lighter - going to work/ coming home, wandering up to post a letter.
4) LARP events.
5) Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, etc.
6) British Summer time start/ finish.
7) Broken light bulbs - all except the kitchen are energy saving so they rarely go.
8) Car tax/ MOT/ house insurance/ council tax - all the boring stuff.
9) Mowing the lawn.
10) Visiting a friend I have not done so for a while.
11) Cobwebs.
12) Old flight boarding cards (from business trips) - they seem to randomly pop up, and it is not like I just spread them over the house when I return!
Mmm, I am sure there are more but now I have focussed on them they drifted somewhere else!
