The Windmills of Your Mind - Noel Harrison


This song is like an anthem for taxi drivers doing long night shifts, one moment of time telescoping into the next endlessly.
On Monday morning at 2am the clocks move backwards one hour. An extra hour in bed.
All the technology will move forward all by itself.
Its easy to remember which way the clocks go. Spring forward and Fall back.
Another thing that is changing the taxi meters, we got a raise.
I love this story about a taxi driver who worked hard and was pulled over for overcharging.
The passenger went to the carriage office who measured the journey in another taxi and he was guilty according to them.
Did you check the day? Was it Sunday? No ! 
But it was Christmas day, extra pay that day for him and for me!.
The driver told me that after all the threats no one said sorry.

I do miss going out and meeting all the different people, I met a wonderful girl from Mexico in Aldi, she was only a few hours in Dublin. I hope her life goes well.
Our city is populated with wonderful people from all around the world. Brazil is well represented ,wonderful girls with a heart full of laughter. We are lucky to have a girl from Argentina who comes in to give us a hand. A wonderful artist.
