I Won't Do It Again- Honest.

I said I'd never let it happen, but last night I wanted a packet of crisps from the corner shop and Ailz said she'd take me in the car and I accepted.

It's a journey that takes- oh- 45 seconds on foot.

My excuse is I had a pan of pasta on the stove and wanted to get back to it as soon as possible, but- no- I know that's really not good enough.

Ironically, on my friends page, your post appears next to one from [livejournal.com profile] new_scientist entitled Blame for global warming placed firmly on humankind.

Whoops!

But it looks like the change is going to happen now, whatever we do. Maybe we can slow it down by using restraint, but mainly we need to prepare and defend against raised sea levels and extreme weather and all the other challenges that lie ahead.

For shame, for shame! Next thing, you'll be granted honorary American citizenship.

I'm not proud of myself.

But, never mind, the car just broke down- so next time I want something from the corner shop I'll have no choice but to walk. :)
