Me, my Significant Other and the Round Faced People took a trip through to Edinburgh today. I was travelling through to audition an actor for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and we thought we’d tie it in with a family day out to the zoo,
However, our plans were dashed because we were held up for over two hours on the M8 because of a major accident. As usual with these things, I felt frustrated as we crept along the road at a snail’s pace, and yet I felt guilty at my frustration.
In fact, we’d left half an hour late today – we were cleaning up the kitchen following our Eurovision party last night. And for a few minutes I wondered if we’d have been caught up in the accident if we’d left on time. It was a horrible thought, with two small kids in the back of the car: a brief thought – a flitting nightmare – to be dismissed as quickly as possible. And an extra big hug at bedtime for the kids.
We are on a knife edge aren’t we? Some freak of timing or circumstance and we live or die.
