Sitting smugly in work, while everyone else complains about the roadworks (50+ weeks planned) at the main roundabout in Caerphilly - and how the knock on effect locally, means they all have to sit in miles and miles of traffic queues for the next year.

Ahem !!! May I suggest cycling ?

Only if you want to leave work today!

Taking the parental unit's car for its MOT this arvo. Having it done early because its renewal falls on the day I have to be in Brum.

I dropped the car off at the garage on my way out of Coventry, picked it up on the way back in, and had a lovely mornings cycling in between. It walked its MOT, no problems or advisories. The service included cabin and pollen filters as well as the usual stuff they change and a new set of spark plugs, the long life Iridium ones that cost 12 quid each, they also found out that the air filter had been fitted the wrong way round at the last service and corrected it.

That's a bt cruel isn't it? Aren't you supposed to de-flea and de-worm them?

Semantics

Bottom line is, they've both had a dose of Advocate. I am not especially popular right now.

Dentists first thing for check up, seldom a good start to any day but then a balmy 21 degrees here on the golden coast this afternoon. Nice gentle ride out and back along the sea defence wall.

Is that good for cats then?

I think myself and @Hill Wimp are probably at opposite ends of the same train.

Must be a treasured wheel cos that's a beefy chain around it.

Failed on excessive play in front right wheel bearing.

But the good folks at the garage are going to order the parts in overnight and do the repair and retest tomorrow. No other advisories that I'm aware of.

Still no luck on a new (used) car for me. Demand and prices have gone up for what I want and so my budget is giving me less bang-for-buck. But I can sit tight for a little while longer and wait for the usual rash of cars that come in when the personal finance plans expire. Was offered a CityGo, but it's too small for my needs, and the Fabia vRS has an auto box, so yukkitty, yukkitty, yukkitty...

Is that cos the miserable bu&&er who tells them to "Turn that shite off" has cleared off to 'that there Lunnon' for the day.

They are sad people
