Well, I had an 'aha moment' this evening (if this counts!).
Today, I was minding my wee granddaughter. On the journey home, once off the motorway, I have a choice of two routes to reach our house. One is more scenic, and at that time of the evening, around 6:30pm, although the traffic is still heavy there are not so many lights to get through as the other route. This is my favourite route.
The second route, re mileage, is shorter but with more lights and eventually a 10 mile, single-track windy road. Not so keen on this route.
Every time, it's the same sequence of events: I approach the motorway slip-road; try to weigh up the situation in both lanes; then make a decision. This evening I decided on route two, simply because I was a little weary and thought I'll gamble with the lights and hopefully be home in not too long a time.
Off the slip-road I came straight into a line of stationary traffic. I thought, auch weil, ya cannee always get it right. But.... further along the journey, lights all on green (strange how the lights can do that, and sometimes, on and on). No backed-up traffic at any roundabouts..... and home in a very reasonable time. Yeah, one of those rare moments!
