Remembering the passed.

 


No, no, it's okay, I'm talking about the cars who will have passed me on my way to work this morning. 

I know, I know, Robert uses the word to replace 'past' ("I drove passed a stall selling fire works on Waihone street...") but my use here is quite legitimate. 

As I drive up the Nui hill, cars come racing past. I get passed by many cars who are getting very close to being above the speed limit of 80kph. 

Yes, I'm off to work soon and I'll not be passing anyone else, except maybe if there is a slow bus heading up the Nui hill.

I have a few gaps in my teaching today because senior students have left, so maybe I'll get quite a bit of violin practice done.

A gap in a fence.

Okay, time to go.

Have fun, but remember the passed. (Hey, I'm talking about cars who are no longer in front.)

Ciao.

I received a speeding ticket notification in the mail yesterday.
88 km in 80 km area Dome Valley.
This pisses me off as after the previous speeding ticket at Hunterville I was being careful.
Maybe the speedometer calibration is faulty.

At least you weren't passed.

I'm feeling past it at the moment.
