Although it’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey here at the moment, the seagulls are insisting on doing their wooing thing. The noise reminds me of ‘that’ scene from When Harry Met Sally … if Sally had strep. Perhaps, what I had assumed were bird droppings on the new [...]
When finding the way I follow my nose
If it runs so do I
It makes sense I suppose
But the girl in the piccy uses her head
Til the parting of ways
When she loses the thread
So I think my way’s best, I hope you agree
And I don’t need a mirror
I’m completely hands free
Which allows me to hold thermos [...]
So there I was on eBay watching the old Volvo’s roof bars reaching the heady heights of £21 + £15 postage and packing and thinking “Oooo, the PayPal account will be in the black for the first time ever!”.
Meanwhile Lo, she is a terrible Goddess was hunched over her computer looking a tad secretive.

The story of my life marks my face like a slap
I really had no idea I’d suffered so much crap.

Desperation.
Search radius increased to forty miles. Hours are spent on the interweave.
We head North towards London to look at several cars at a particular garage. Unbeknownst to us there are 2 large luxurious Volvos on the forecourt. We sit in them. One has very comfortable leather armchairs for seats with an undergusset heating system. Lo, [...]
The pressure builds.
Saturday – Drive in increasingly uncomfortable rental 20 miles West.
Too noisy, too expensive, ….. eeek! Very ugly!
Sunday – Drive in torture machine 20 miles East to look at a specific vehicle.
Quietish, reasonable price, nasty colour.
The time at home is spent on the computers researching price, reliability, running costs and comfort. Search radius increased [...]
Putting our petrol heads on.
I woke up the following morning – which was a great relief as I have been known to hum in my sleep. I telephoned the garage we use for repairs. My worst suspicions were confirmed. The cost to get the beast working again would be 3 or 4 times it’s worth [...]
