Hurray for me.

Picture the road this morning: full of cars on the other side, full of puddle on our side. More puddle than expected, it would seem, because by the time we pulled out of it, the engine was definitely Not Going. Frances waggled the ignition key for a while, and talked to it nicely: no luck. Eventually I got out into the nasty rain with a bunch of tissues, detached the HT leads from the distributor cap, dried them all off, and shoved them back in. It started first go.

I feel positively heroic.

Of course, then we sat for half an hour in the mess that is the roadworks in Sonning. You can't have everything.

That's good improvisation.

Maybe someone had eaten all the WD-40 and not gone out to the corner shop for a replacement? Mmmm, WD-40!

Ah, you've clearly met my housemates.

WD-40: Great With Aubergines!

So that's where it's been concealed all this time.

Oh, sorry, I thought you wrote WMD-40.

Seasonal problems. Thinking of the wine called "Great With Fish" (or "Great With Chicken"), and wondering about the Virgin Mary being described as great with child...

Now we know why all the demons are always after the blood of virgins !
