Feels Like Tropical Surveying

Been out on the M4 for the last couple of nights. Last night I had to scrape the ice off the car before leaving. Then during the night the temperature rose and the thermals caused the sweating to begin. Boy did I feel hot. I haven't felt too vulnerable on the motorway in a while but tonight on the central res I certainly did. With only a wire barrier between me and lane 3 of the opposite side of the motorway, I really did feel uneasy at cars hurtling by me. This was made worse when the barrier repair team turned up to repair the barrier caused by a serious accident yesterday morning. I think it is good that the motorway still scares me because when it doesn't it means I don't respect the danger that I'm in. When you are working just 2 metres away from cars doing 90-100mph its best not to think too much. You are not going to know much if the worse happens. Still, worse things happen at sea. Or on cruises so it seems! You'r just not safe whatever you do so enjoy life to the max while you are here. Well thats my motto anyway. Be back soon. Stay safe!
