Dead battery... again!

Music: at this very moment “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” performed by Nigel Kennedy
Mood: hanging in there

Have still to work this week.. and then I’ll have 2 weeks off!! Hehehe …so am now just hanging in there…
I haven’t gone out for a while… since many of my friends are now away on a holiday, or very busy with finishing their work before holiday (this includes me, too!), I don’t really have an opportunity to enjoy an nice eve with a company… So, you might be able to imagine how I was looking forward to the parties this weekend; one on Saturday and the other one on Sunday. And what happens? My car doesn’t start!!! Grrrrr… Oh well, I actually should have known that, ‘cause it’s been already 3 months since I drove my car the last. Yes, of course, the battery is dead.
Anyway, I made it to the party on Sunday (not the one on Saturday) by train and taxi. People there were quite curious why the problem. I told them that I seldom drive my car because I don’t have anywhere to go – so the battery is always very low… My world is very small, I can get around by bike (or bus, tram…. even on foot) easily… Suddenly I got so many invitations to coffee, tea and other activities like sightseeing. “But you must come by car!”, they say. Hmmm, they are so kind and helpful. Since my plan for this summer has been cancelled, maybe that’s what I should do during the 2 week holiday; driving around.


Lex, a friend of mine, is going to recharge the battery for me… again.

Mercury Blues
(Steve Miller version)

Had my money
I tell you what I’d do
I would go downtown
Buy a Mercury or two
Cause I’m crazy ’bout a Mercury
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
I’m goin’ to buy me a Mercury
And I’ll cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

You know that gal I love
I stole her from a friend
Fool got lucky stole her back again
Because she knowed he had a Mercury
Cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
Well, she knowed he had a Mercury
And she cruise up and down this road

Hey now mama
Where’d you stay last night
Your hair’s all down
Your clothes don’t fit you right

Had my money
I tell you what I’d do
Go downtown and buy a Mercury or two
Cause I’m crazy ’bout a Mercury
And I’ll cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road

I’m going to buy me a Mercury
And I’ll cruise up and down this road
Up and down this road
….
