It’s now been over two decades walking down the village back LANE. Actually it’s really about navigating the dangers, dodging the potholes. The many many many potholes, mile after mile of them.

In places it’s more hole than tarmac. During the day it can be bad enough but at night, on those late dog walk. Yet, over the years the myriad ankle breakers have become ingrained on my mind, almost subconsciously I now know which way to step, hop, jump and sidestep. Without thinking, without looking, I flow through the pothole dangers. Who would have thought it, on that LANE, I almost become a cross between Ethan Hunt and Neo. On that LANE I could be Mission Impossible, could be The Matrix.

Just on that one LANE, no where else. Which unfortunately rather cuts down on my movie superhero stardom chances. That would be one dull thriller…. THE LANE.

But then in other places, there can be more movie potential.

The kitchen destroyed another item today. Its third Glass Coffee Press. That’s on top of countless plates, cups, glasses, jars, bottles and yes even spectacles. You name it, the kitchen floor has destroyed them. Who in their right mind puts a stone floor in a kitchen. Such a defect, such a negligent act, that’s Towering Inferno incompetence. Maybe that’s the second, more marketable thriller….THE KITCHEN FLOOR.

    1. Actually, you’ll like this example even more, as this is an A road going from smooth Pembs road surface, to Carmarthenshire’s road full of triangle ⚠️ warning signs with swervy ~~🚗 sign, to what looks like boobies on the road warning!
      Go on, give it a go to go and click it forward to past the [Welcome to Carmarthenshire] sign to see:

      7. It was filled in again when I drove past today, but for how long will it stay filled? I seriously think there’s something happening deep down under that bit of road.

      10. Someone once saw the official road team filling in holes without getting out of the van. Basically one person tried to chuck stuff in as the first truck went past and a second van appeared to just drive over the randomly filled in holes….

  7. I live on a dirt road, at the far end there is one family that does fence work, another does tree work. Both have over sized trucks. Needless to say the shocks in all vehicles get quite the work out. Yesterday my son went to get a bowl from the cabinet. He did a very good juggling act as one bowl was determined and did, hit the floor. It shattered in a lot of pieces. He looked at me and said, “Let me guess, that was an old family bowl worth a lot.” Nope, just a bowl and it was my fault due to where I had put the thing.

  9. It almost seems that it would be safer to walk in the grassy areas than on the pavement of the Lane! And about that kitchen floor … perhaps if you didn’t drop things? Just a thought 🤣

  10. But but you could have so many stories down The Lane. Populated with denizens of your own creation. So many stories.

    Sounds like you have a Kitchen Floor problem. It has decided that it dislikes your lack of respect in the brilliance of having a stone Kitchen Floor that it now is trying to do all that it can to let you know. Kinda like a petulant toddler.

    Have an awesome rest of your day. 🙂
