I must have missed the excitement what's up with it?

Whilst it was having it's MOT the examiner spotted some water and possibly oil coming from the back of the cylinder head . He thinks it could be the head gasket . The car has used a bit of water for years. I wasn't sure if it was just a thing with that type of engine . If I had mentioned it to the garage they would probably have said to keep topping it up and keep an eye on it .
It would be out of warranty if I had kept on having it serviced, but I didn't see the point in continuing paying to have something replaced which hadn't had much use . I did the servicing myself . I must have saved over a £1,000 over the years .

I am supposed to be working, making telephone calls, but instead here I am on MN drinking coffee and eating scones.

My app tells me I slept for 6hrs 51mins last night. My body tells me this is not enough. I'm off to see Esther.

Best of luck with the head gasket.

Wife has gone off to M&S, waiting for the plumber to pick the keys up to the flat to do the gas check before the new tenant moves in, Postie has just bought me a rather nice FDX jersey....... as the car salesmen would say "seen in blue with a blue, black and reflective back"

Good morning to you too. Tea's brewing and I've run a bath. I think I've developed an allergy to chilli - my sensitive bits are very, very sensitive.

Who won you or the bath.

With the help of my home from Uni daughter. I - she has purchased eight kindle books today.The Charlie Parker series by John Connolly. How much different it is to read on the screen,,i love it. Bigger fonts,light screen and i can rest it on the case stand and keep my hands free.. What a great idea.

Who won you or the bath.

I drew the water.

Weather, that's mundane isn't it, its currently blowing a hoolie, mid 20's steady and gusting to high 30's low 40's

I drew the water.

Did you draw the curtains?

 

[Speicher]

No weather here today. Monochrome grey skies, no wind.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Did you draw the curtains?

I most certainly did.

It's grey, murky, blustery and humid here, though we did have a little bit of sun earlier. Must've chucked it down overnight as well, as all the trays holding my plants are overflowing with water.

Today I made my first non-essential trip since lockdown - dropping off a birthday present for a friend who lives in the village. We had a nice socially distanced chat in her front garden which was really nice, as I haven't seen her since mid March.

I am about to have some lunch, and then I need to re-jig the fridge in the utility room, as I will be going to Tesco later.

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "Tiles"

A box of broken ones on the loft.

I lost out in a tie-breaker yesterday. My bike photo has the joint top number of votes. Mind, you have to admit, a set of clockwork dentures *are* funny LOL
