Women! and Cars... go figure.

Today the entire centre of England is covered in a swath of rain, its promontories like the south coast and Scotland are apparently sunny, even so I will venture in to Town today. Katie has ran off with my Volvo, so if I drive, it will be in the MG, as its raining, I will not drive my MG. So will happily walk into town. This week I was promoted at work, the first time ever when I actually did not seek it, yes I should be celebrating; but I suspect it a bit like being promoted on the battlefield,in the middle of Stalingrad during WW2. But its better than a kick in the teeth with a lead boot. Spent most of last week buying militaria of the interweb, did offer to show Katie my Russian helmet, but she didn't laugh?, And didn't even appear that excited when I bought her a 'Titan' bench Drill!,I mean really!, how ungrateful!!, never mind her not liking the new microwave I bought her... The things we do for our women. As a footnote to this entry , I did eventually take 'Purdy' for a spin as I had left my credit card in my Volvo which Katie had borrowed etc, only to discover a fuel leak!, quite fortuitous really, and just in time for the Car rally next week, I would have hated to have pulled up at 'Stoneleigh Abbey' with fuel gushing everywhere!!. I mean the disgrace of it all.
