I think it does start going up a bit once you're over 75.

Spanish toilets, that would be a no, thankfully I only needed a pee and I wasnt treated to the sight of a Spaniard wiping his arse before my lunch

I had minus 16 today. 18 degrees is summer.

I was thinking about wheel sizes earlier (whilst looking for front tyres for the Visa), and I realised that in my current fleet I have two with 16" wheels, two with 15s, two with 14s, two with 13s and two with 12s.

 

As you were...

Tackled the lights on the Trabi today so they now all work! I'm just ignore that passenger window fell off the runners. So I had to reinstall the window in the dark and pouring down rain....

A customer flew in from Sweden today specifically to pick up a couple of pieces of acrylic for his yacht hatches. It was cheaper for him to do this including hire car charges than getting them made in Germany.

Found a person that removes headlight bulbs from a car prior to sale... 

Used bulbs for a fiver each anyone? 😂

They've probably skinned their knuckles fishing them out just to recuperate some of their outlay from 2 months ago when they had to spend out on replacement bulbs. Best bit is they've probably handled the glass with their fingers, thus making it pretty useless 😂

Went to a concert at the eldest grandsons secondary school tonight. He did a clarinet duet and played the saxophone in a jazz group. He's fortunate to go to a school that places great value on performing arts.There was a huge amount of talent on show.The head of sixteen years left about 18 months ago, to end his career in his native Ireland and there were concerns things would slip in this area after his departure. Fortunately everything seems as vibrant as ever. A thoroughly inspiring evening. I'm well aware that not every child gets such opportunities and support to excel, but surely it's good that at least some do.

We went to cold N Yorks last month to see an amdram musical featuring* wife's nephew. Good performance.

My latest Midl of Lidl purchase.  I bought it to chuck over the Visa when it's wet as the cabin isn't 100% watertight.  I was umming and aahing a bit until I read the list of cars it's suitable for.

Sitting in a queue at a level crossing in light rain yesterday, I noticed the chunky 4x4 pickup behind me had his wipers going continuously (why?). Not only were the wipers keeping time with the Flying Pickets 'Heard it through the Grapvine' on my playlist at the time, they reached full travel exactly on the beat. I watched for a minute or so expecting them to drift out of time but no. Quite mesmerizing.
