Walking in the Shadows

Random musings from Warwickshire on life in general... Things that make me laugh, make me cry, things that wind me up beyond all endurance - and everything in between.

Something that made me smile...

Now normally, I don't follow football, but this cartoon in the Daily Mail had me giggling...

Now some things you hold on to - and some you just let go
Seems like the ones that you can't have
Are the ones that you want most

Car Hiccups

I was late into the office this morning, and the reason? Hiccups. Not mine – the car’s. I thought I had seen the back of the dreaded gearbox error message on the car when I had the sensor replaced in March, the car seemed to settle down and didn’t give me any problems.

Ok – so it seemed a little reluctant to pull away a couple of times, and I put it down to the fact that I was on the white line, meaning that the tyre couldn’t get the necessary traction… It was the same this morning, then it threw the dreaded error. Thank god its not done it when Mum’s been in the car – she would have been really worried, thinking that the car had a major problem. I admit it is a problem, but it’s one that I can deal with.

So one trip in to Arbury Peugeot (having confirmed that there were no warning lights on other than the blasted gearbox warning on the main display, I was able to get some coolant, and was told to wait until the car was cold and level, then do the top up, to bring the car back up to where it should be.

Needless to say, this will be something that I will keep a close eye on, as the last thing that I want is the car frying itself.

Ah well, guess I should be doing some w*rk, but I have a case of TNFI, and it’s only Tuesday.

Back when I get the chance…
