Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a tractor driver in Faversham is like riding a rollercoaster, but without the safety bar. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m thinkin’, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
First off, I’m rollin’ down the High Street, and it’s packed. Like, what’s with all the people? It’s a Tuesday, not a Saturday! I swear, I nearly ran over a couple of tourists takin’ selfies in front of the old church. St. Mary of Charity, I think? Beautiful place, but c’mon, folks! Watch where you’re standin’!
So, I’m tryin’ to navigate through the crowd, and I hit a pothole. Boom! My coffee goes flyin’. I’m like, “Noooo!” That was my lifeline! Now I’m cranky. I pull over on Abbey Street, and I’m just fumin’. I mean, who’s in charge of these roads? A blindfolded raccoon?
Then, outta nowhere, I see this little kid, maybe six or seven, tryin’ to ride his bike. He’s wobblin’ all over the place, and I’m thinkin’, “This kid’s gonna end up in my tractor!” But nah, he pulls it off. I’m impressed. I give him a thumbs up, and he grins like he just won the lottery. That made me smile, ya know?
After that, I head over to the market on the other side of town. Faversham’s market is the real deal. Fresh produce, local crafts, and the best fish and chips. I’m droolin’ just thinkin’ about it. But guess what? The fish stall is closed! I’m like, “Are you kidding me?” I could’ve cried.
So, I grab a pasty instead. Not the same, but it’ll do. I’m munchin’ on it, and I spot this old bloke, right? He’s sittin’ on a bench, lookin’ like he’s seen it all. I swear, he’s got stories. I wanna ask him about the good ol’ days, but I’m too busy tryin’ to not choke on my pasty.
Then, I get a call from my boss. “Hey, mate! We need you at the docks!” Great. Just what I wanted. So, I zoom over to the docks, and it’s chaos. Crates everywhere, seagulls screamin’ like they own the place. I’m tryin’ to park my tractor, and this seagull decides to take a dump on my windshield. I’m like, “Really? You couldn’t aim for the ground?”
Finally, I get outta there, and I’m headin’ back to the yard. I’m exhausted, but then I see the sunset over the Swale. It’s beautiful, man. The sky’s all orange and pink, and for a second, I forget about the potholes, the pasty, and the seagull. Just me and the view.
But then, I remember I still gotta clean the tractor. Ugh! The joys of being a tractor driver, right? I’m thinkin’ about how tomorrow’s gotta be better. Maybe I’ll get my fish and chips. Or maybe I’ll just avoid the tourists.
So, yeah, that was my day in Faversham. Full of ups and downs, but hey, that’s life, innit? Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
