sobriqueToday is a glorious day. The sun is shining, it's pleasantly warm, and you can just feel the world starting to come alive.
The sun was shining in my room this morning. Sounds such a minor thing, but I really do think that the human psyche is strongly keyed to sunlight. I'm noticing it.
Or maybe it's just because I rather like the idea of hibernating for months. Lurking in my room, in a pile of bedding and only emerging occasionally for pizza deliveries.
A thought crossed my mind though last night. Have you ever noticed how you can tell who it is just in the corridor etc. without being able to see them? Now in my particular case, it's the section of the house just outside my room. I always have a pretty good idea of who's there.
You see, everyone has their own 'signature'. Breathing pattern, walking pattern, and sound to their movements. And if you pay attention to those sorts of cues, then you can tell who it is who's just outside.
I've now got myself a copy of "Roadcraft - the police drivers handbook".
And there's this idea that might be interesting. Find someone, and take turns to critique their driving. Not in the "you're a shit driver" sense (even if I am) but more in the "ride around town a bit, and comment on things that you notice that they don't". I'm sure that those who drive are well aware that they've picked up bad habits - I know I have, but ... well driving is mostly subconcious, so without drawing attention to it, you remain unaware (mostly).
