I hadn’t driven the car for a few days then as I set off and turned the wheel under the bonnet it went TWANG! That, dear readers, is the sound of a broken spring. I know that because my old car had the same problem.  What I want to know is – how come a spring can break when the car is sitting there for a few days not moving? One of life’s great imponderables.

It seems that I’ve lost some of my spring too. A friend I saw recently said I wasn’t my normal bouncy self. I hadn’t noticed this, but on reflection he was right. Its a result travelling, doing too many things at the last minute and getting bogged down with admin.

So I’m taking better care of myself.  I have a few weeks without any travel and have got some help with the admin. I can also plan more easily for the next busy time.

How do you know how much spring you have (or need)? What will you do if you run out of spring? Who or what helps you regain your spring?
