Why is it that a tunnel gets wet inside? I drove through the Blackwall tunnel earlier. It had been raining quite heavily, so the road surface was quite wet. You could certainly see the film of water. So why is it also wet inside the tunnel? I know that car tyres must carry a certain amount of water, but surely not enough to make the road surface in the tunnel wet as well? Not for the entire distance, anyway? And it isn't as though it can ran in the tunnel. Lets hope it wasn't a leak.

My second random musing is about our very own tunnel vision. I've been writing an application for the last week or so. I've finally reached a draft I'm happy with. A good thing really since it has to be in tomorrow. It's amazing though, how we re-read our own work, without necessarily seeing the wood for the trees. It is easy to add emphasis, or read a word that you think "works", but only because you want it to work, or you think a certain sentence has the correct emphasis when indeed it doesn't. It is also so very easy to be negative. You may not mean to, but who wants to say "I will do this" or "my enthusiasm will" get me somewhere, rather than settle with the rather more comfortable, "would". It is also so easy to put "I believe that I am...", rather than simply, "I am". Such ls life I suppose. Now, the application I'm writing was hardly a poor effort, but I'm still very pleased I had Ollie to sort out all my misfits :o)
