Pleasant Creep
It's not a day for Radiohead's "Creep"...
I let the long-desserted scent of lavender permeate the whole flat and turned off all alarms when I went to bed last night. I felt I needed sufficient courage to do that, oddly. Yes, it's Saturday night - I know. And I live in Hong Kong, and the 21st century, you know. Sunday is just the seventh day, usually.
Breaking the routine rhythm I retrieved some lost time (from where?) to give away some old clothes and clear the space for sweaters and trousers piled up on any 1x2 feet surfaces around. Then, on the way to a restaurant I seldom visited for a late brunch, I "discovered" a car-park where I could probably afford for the "new" second-hand Toyota almost mine. Excited by the discovery I nearly called my colleague who gave the offer for the key right away. Only a "new" Beethoven sonata calmed the exhilaration. In fact, the focus was "transferred" when I succeeded in making an appointment with the driver-tutor for practising the long abandoned skill.
An auto was far more easier than a manual, despite I found it still too "spectacular" to drive a car on the road. I remember after any lesson on a manual, I would have a backache and sore neck... while I was only delighted today after 1.5 hours "creeping" (in 30 mph) round the East side of the island. I could hardly keep the environmental issue in my head which was my second greatest concern before today, to drive a car. I have been always bad with temptation, when it's in my face.
I went to gym and cooked for myself a delicious pan-fried spagehtti with mushroom afterwards, devoured over some practices of Francais with the film "Les Choristes" listed for the upcoming movie club I have to host. Then the late evening belonged to my first exploration on iMovie. That's the end of the story of a Sunday bourgeoisie.
Or you prefer the real Creep I "rediscovered" with today's luxurious leisure?

Update: I meant 30KMph... (just found out 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers). Yes, that means I crept even slower than you thought :p
