My little car is back from the garage. I am lighter to the tune of 200 quid but Robert Pires is ok again. New tyres, a shock absorber, some new lights and he is now ok to go for another year. Shame I forgot to ask them to fix the fan again. I will remember one day I am sure. No doubt the next time I am sat in traffic with steam rising from the bonnet. Took him for a trip to Tesco once I had picked him up. Amazing what a difference grip makes on the tyres :)

Half term week has thus far been uneventful. Gym, housework, car, Tesco, some decorating at Matt's...that's it really. Today is a school work day, as are tomorrow and Friday...and probably the weekend too...

This and this have amused.

I keep thinking about this time last year. Clearing and decorating the conservatory, trips to the tip etc. What difference a year makes.

I suppose I had better get back to the school work :(
