thanks  :)
Just life's 'ups n downs'
I seem to be too busy putting fires out all the time, rather than getting ahead and preventing them, though many are unavoidable/beyond my control anyway
if that makes sense

Yes, it makes sense. I've had to educate my family with regards to my advancing years and learn to say no. They get used to it, eventually.

Ive started down that road myself. It aint easy, but has to be done. Cant be the family brick forever and ever.  ::)
Its weird being the same age as old people !

I think a lot of kids assume that Mum and Dad are a permanent fixture and always there, then all of a sudden, they aren't. SWMBO had a minor stroke just over a week ago and that made them sit up. Luckily she got away quite lightly but has weakness on her left side which seems to be slowly improving. Early days though. Welcome back Dave, hope things go well for you.  :y

Coded the A6 to do the audible chirp on lock/unlock. Then decided that it was chavvy, so I coded it back out again.  ::)

Took it to Kwik fit to cure the hissing noise coming from the NSR tyre.

Thought it might be repairable to look at it, but apparently the hole was too big. So she's getting a new tyre. £323 had I walked in off the street. Thankfully the lease company's paying  ;D
