Occasional Showers
After it absolutely lashed it down yesterday, I thought I'd take a chance this morning and sneak the car out to Sainsburys.



I then pushed my luck a little by heading to the garden centre too.

But, just as the dark clouds started to lighten up and I thought to myself the weather is improving, it rained!



So I had to park under a tree in the garden centre for some shelter and be quick with my shopping.



There was no escaping the rain on the way home, but it had stopped when I pulled into my driveway.



So I quickly wiped down the car with some kitchen roll.

Did I mention that the car needs to be washed at some point?



But no time for that now as it started to rain again and I quickly got the covers on.

Mondeo MOT
This was due towards the end of April and it was a tale of two halves…

Originally, it was all set to pass the MOT with flying colours and was just being reversed off the ramp…

When it decided to split a hose and dump its coolant all over the garage floor resulting in a fail.

The good news is that this was an easy fix.

But the even better news is that I was fearing an expensive fail (like my wife's Mirca) that would effectively write the car off.

At which point the Swordfish would need to be sold to fund a second hand family car.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
