Morning all . Having a slightly boring day today . It’s my daughter’s fault 😀. She suddenly realised her mot and service was due, so I said I would sort it ( mug 😀) . The problem is the garage we use is in Warwick ( a hangover from when we both worked there ) . Normally this isn’t a problem as I book work for Thursday and Fridays when Mrs exlaser isn’t working so she can pick me up . But as this was a rush job it had to be done today so I am stuck in Warwick until it’s done. Also the museum I was going to while away a couple of hours now closes on a Monday .
On the plus side I have just finished off a fried breakfast at a cafe I haven’t used in decades . It hadn’t changed lol. Two bacon , two sausages, egg, beans, tomato and ………fried bread for £4.90.i havnt had fried bread in years . It was very nice but I could feel my arteries harden with every mouth full of the fried bread. 😂.
Oh see you all later, more time to waste and more coffee to drink .

Extra things fro the birthday "do" lat night

turns out that SWMBO's son has a new car

It is on a lease thing as he works for the NHS
but it is a BMW SUV type thing

it has lots of gadgets

including an overtake facility
he can have his hands off the wheel and if he is catching a car in his current lane - e.g. the middle lane
then the car will check it is clear to overtake and flash a signal
If it then sees him check the rear view mirror then it will move into the outer lane and overtake and move back to the original lane when it is clear
all without him doing anything except glancing in the mirror

I did ask if it uses the indicator - it is a BMW after all
he said he has not checked that!

just sent him this - because I had to

@Mo1959 I've just read a new word (for me).....its Pyjamaphile. The definition is 'someone who gets home and cant wait to put their pyjamas on' ........thought you might like to know :smile:

The rain is to be on for the rest of the day now………I am tempted! :laugh:
