Salut tout le monde.
Back home after a great night out yesterday. John Bishop did not disappoint but uses a lot of f*** words in his show. but all in good humour though. He was only on for 1hour and a quarter because there was a warm up comedian first. He was good too.
Anyway, back to reality now and waiting to collect Molly who has been staying overnight at another daughter. She is still at work for another hour or so. Can't wait to get my baby back.
The weather is c**p today so nothing much planned for the rest of the day.

I was bored so I have just bought a car 
I barely need a car now at all so have downsized even further to a totty little Toyota Aygo. The Yaris was 6 years old and starting to need a major service, new tyres, etc so I thought I would bite the bullet and just change now. I've been thinking about it for a while anyway. I managed to pick up a 7 month old Aygo with 5,000 on the clock so basically good as new with the savings of not buying new. Got a pleasant surprise with the trade in price for the Yaris too so that's it arranged with a pick up for Tuesday morning.

Good day all. Cold and grey and drizzly here. Went out for a little spin, turned out more enjoyable than expected.

Much better than dark colours - won't show scratches so much.

What are you inferring about my driving!
Just joking. The Yaris is a darker colour called Decuma Gray and shows the dirt a bit more than a lighter silver does.

I have a number of friends who moan about scratches showing up badly on eg their black cars and then when they buy another car they get it in black! Mad!

I wouldn’t have black again. Only had one and it only ever looked good right after being washed. Within hours you could see the dust settling and a few spots of rain and it looked bad again very quickly.
A friend of one of my work colleagues popped in to our works to visit him as he was passing through the area. His car was a sort of bright lime green
He said he bought it for an excellent price, and being colour blind he wasn't at all bothered by the colour.
