It has been a while…
Due to a mixture of Christmas, then catching the cough/cold doing the rounds and work being hectic.
(One day last week involved travelling for a total of 6 hours on trains to get to and from a meeting.)

So yesterday was the first time I had a chance to start the car up and it didn't want to start.

The battery sounded flat and there was no sign of life from the engine.

Thankfully, just before I was going to give up and put the battery on charge, it coughed.

So I tried one last time and it burst into life.

Something seems to be wrong with the both the trip and odometer as they think I only did 2 miles in an hour.

The speedo was working (I assume/hope accurately enough for the speed cameras).

But I'll worry about that another day and leave you with a traditional car park shot.



Which doesn't really do justice to what a great grey and miserable day it was.
(I could see the steam of my breath when stopped at traffic lights. )

The roads were also pretty 'slick' and the car definitely tried to go sideways a coupe of times.

Until next time, take care, Paul.

PS
Last week my wife and I went to the Tutankhamun exhibition and it was mind blowing.

Some of the things on display looked brand new, despite being over 3,000 years old!

And that is before you start thinking about the skills required to make everything.
