Loan Cars

Well. Ya see. It's like this.

Mem Sahib is away in the big city, so it's a good time to get all the little jobs done.

My garage man gave me a car to drive whilst they do a minor job on the old Disco.

Let's just say it's old, not the Disco. The car they gave me.

It's a Jauqametti 2.2 open tourer.

With cross flow ash tray, twin squeezey bottle carburettors, twin overhead bucket seats and an AM radio that can still pick up Radio Caroline.

Also, a boom box in the back and a nice smelly Christmas Tree air freshener hanging off the air vent.

The Boom box is, I believe, a fault with the suspension that makes the boot go "Boom" when you go over a bump.

The Christmas Tree air freshener is very good. It makes it smell like an old, wet dog inside.
You know, those big shaggy things you take out on long walks, on wet nights and then they lay down in front of the log fire and make the room smell like - well an old  wet dog!

But, I did manage to wash my shorts this morning.

Sit in the garden drinking beer, with my neighbour, last night.
Get to work on time today. Well nearly. A good effort though.

Also I made some bread rolls using the butter that Valerie made at Eltham Palace.
There is nothing quite like watching a well endowed woman making butter!
