Okay, good news: Just bought a new lid, and it's sweet (see pic).
Now for the bad news: Just after I ordered it over the 'net I got a call saying that I'd missed the deadline for delivery by about ten minutes. Now I can't have it until after the New Year.
Ten minutes. Poo! Do you know how long I sat at the computer trying to make up my mind whether I could justify spending so much on protecting my head? Ages! So long that if I halved the time, I'd have made the deadline and still spent ages contemplating my decision.
So now I'm stuck in this now-and-not-yet place of torture: I've paid for it but can't have it. Thinking about it further, my helmet is a bit like Jesus too (see last post), except for the fact that He's free and not a motorcycle helmet...
