I'm getting itchy from being so de-powered since the van went permanently off-road at its MOT last week. I can't dash off to rescue friends, run a bunch of bikes somewhere, or go to the beach for a swim or a surf or a paddle, or do anything ad hoc. It's not the doing as much as the capacity to be doing that is vexing me: phantom driver ache.
Bus timetables appear to be lies, which doesn't help even if the main thing I'm missing is a chunk of my usefulness. Part of me wants to get a heavy bike trailer.
Bah. Ebay ho! There must and shall be a new Munkymobile. Possibly with Misery Machine graphics.

I looked into car clubs and there isn't one for my town. It's in the pipeline, with pressure from the local hippies to which I've added my name.
