Happy New Year everyone! Summer seems to finally have arrived here after prolonged wet period, and it's proper hot. Makes for a sweaty ride in, but I don't really mind the heat. Heh heh - I do enjoy readng the stories of icy roads...

Hit a pedestrian this morning. Idiot just stepped out in front of me and started crossing, looking the wrong way down the street and seemingly oblivious to everything. I shouted out to him, expecting him to pause, but he ignored me, didn't look round and kept going. I screamed at him again - I was going too fast to really do much in the way of swerving around him. One of those 'if I try and go around the back of him and he stops, I'll hit him, but it I go in front and he doesn't stop I'll hit him' type scenarios.

I chose to go in front. He didn't stop. Luckily I just barged him with my shoulder, no harm done to either of us. Could have been worse though. When I looked back, he was still trudging across the road, apparently still oblivious.
