Yo Friday peops
Mixed week off – most of the odd jobs ticked off – but still some hanging round – you know how it is – the best laid plans - but with my OCD it’ll get on me wick!
Monday – me and mom went to say goodbye to a neighbour from Hubert Road – affectionately known (by me) as ‘Daddy Wickles’ – apparently I used to call everyone mom and dad when I was little – nuff said……why is it though you have to wait till funerals to catch up – and there’s so much to say – like “Where did you buy your spray tan – it’s so even….” and “Is that a perm?” Well – you know me – mom cut it short before I could let the real family side down ;-)
Monday night put a new bigger flap in for Dennis – by Wednesday night he’s wearing it on the way out! Few longer screws and hopefully all will be well….
Tuesday I decide to cheer mom and dad up and take them to Bridgemere – I’ve never been to the garden centre – and after all it was only an hour up the M6…..anyway two loooooong hours after getting on at Spaghetti – with dad commenting on the Czech lorries and white van men and spelling the word ‘T-R-A’N-S-I-T’ for the fiftieth time we get off having only reached the other side of Brum and drive back to Becketts farm 3 miles up the road for lunch – dad by this time has fallen asleep and mom is getting bored with the Sudoku on her mobile phone! Still…. we managed to find two garden centres and spend lots of money!!
Not half as much as mom and dad spent on me on Wednesday though….. what with mom complaining that the seat belts in my pink thing strangled her… (I’d had them specially made... ;-), and dad getting bruised every time I changed gear… I decided to go for a fatter funkier car -which doesn’t strangle mom and the seats are too hard for dad to fall asleep :-)

So mater and pater got me something none of you will have heard of – a Daihatsu Materia – get googling….. here's a with a link to the Car pages review website which described it as a contender for the ugliest car plus they called it a ‘Marmite’ car – you either love it or hate it….. and Jeremy Clarkson likes it??!!!
When I asked the salesman about security features he said "Who'd want to nick it?" How fab is that!!!! :-D
The neighbours love it – Stella has been for a blat – and likes it because of the elevation…..Pat sat in it and liked the blue speaker lights – tho they only really come into their own in the dark….Easton sat in it and liked the big dash - and Alan loved the engine – said it looked clean??? and then helped me get it in the garage – and – laid some carpet (up the wall) so that when I open the door I wont dent it….. how posh is that for St. Irchley – wall to wall carpeted garage!So have spent today hacking the garden back – 5 bags full later – after borrowing Easton’s humungous hedge trimmer – I accidentally lopped off half of my Acer tree – so it sort of ends abruptly – hard to describe – but fascinating to look at if you want to pop round….
Hope your bank holiday weekend isn’t too much of a wash out – James at work gets married to Rachel tomorrow – so hopefully the sun will shine on them in Shropshire. I’m bimbling in Pershore tomorrow and Gloucester on Monday and feeding mater and pater on Sunday with a Kangaroo casserole – to give them a bit of a jump start to the week!!
Have a good un

Which colour are you going for? You can't not have a pink car!!!

It's slate grey - the same as the pic - I was gutted they didn't have pink - but hey - there's always the interior......
