Drove to a friend's funeral.
That's the second funeral I've been to in  less than three weeks.


You lot might want to keep your distance :o

I would be more concerned with how it came to be broken...

Afraid that will remain one of life's mysteries, and certainly not worth losing sleep over 😎

There comes a point in ones life, when you start going to more funerals than weddings.

2:1 so far this year.


I went to one wedding last year, and had to point out to the bride that the previous wedding I attended was also hers. I probably won't be invited to the next one ;D

Took the 4x4 into my local tyre shop & had wheels swopped round F-R & R-F get a few more miles out of them.

Gave it a cursory glance as I pushed the lawnmower past it, and was embarrassed how filthy it looks.

So as I pushed the mower back past it after I finished, I looked the other way....   ....problem solved ;D

Taken three full loads to the tip in it, fourth one tomorrow and another next week.

Also booked it in for its MoT... The day before it runs out... What could possibly go wrong? :D

Ordered an electronic TPS for the V70 to replace the mechanical[if that's the right term]one fitted at the factory as it's playing up-a known issue on these-occasionally.

Took the Zafira to Vauxhall dealer in town, had it MOT'd.

Passed with no issues, they even gave it a wash and a vac.

Not bad for £27.50.  :)
