At this moment in time I’m a somewhat annoyed and p*ssed off soul. Why I hear you ask? What because some person of questionable parentage went and whacked my wing mirror last night. So I went to my car this morning to drive to work and saw that it had been pushed forward then noticed they had managed to crack it at the bottom, whilst I can glue this crack back together with hopefully minimal hairline crack from the driver's view, I am however missing a very small piece of my wing mirror what you can see from outside the car …so as you might guess I am not amused. Mainly because to get my baby looking pristine again I think is likely to cost me a whole new wing mirror for the sake of a triangle of plastic not more than 0.5cmx0.5cmx0.5cm big. The think what annoys me the most is that its not as if vehicles have to go really close to cars along this road anyway as its give & take one way with all the parking involved. Maybe I am erring towards the traffic calming scheme I’m going to have to build but don’t really agree with. Mind you some people will never be considerate drivers if its going to get them to their destination 0.01seconds quicker.

On a happier note I did the run up north (and a side trip to Leicester) on ¾ tank of diesel … I think I’m converted to turbo diesels! However over the journey up I came to the conclusion my car has a split personality .. when its cruising along motorways it’s ‘the silver bullet’ but when its got the boot open and being loaded with stuff its ‘the wagon’.

Better get back to some work before I see the Vampires (aka giving blood) … no doubt EDS will be top of the board on donations from PCC.
