Better get out and do the shopping during the time between the rugby fans clogging up the roads on their way there, and clogging up the other side of them on their way back again

Well, that didn't go quite as planned
I've been guilty of sadly neglecting my Super Monkey Car over the last month or two, and it had built up a serious case of condensation. I went in it to get a can of de-icer the other morning and was met with a veritable shower of drops of water falling in it, and there was a growth of mildew building up on the steering wheel
So I was determined to take it for a run today, to try to dry it out a bit. It started up OK, and I ran it for a few minutes, and all seemed well; so I set off, intending to take a bit of a drive round some bits of ring road and what have you before getting the shopping done.
But it became clear that a short drive wasn't going to give it a chance to dry very much.
I ended up doing (according to Google Maps) almost eighty miles, including four different motorways
And having finally got back home, I took the other car and did the shopping
Ditzed around showering and shaving and all that malarkey, only to realise that I don't actually feel like going down the pub after all. I'm fairly tired, it's cold and foggy out there, and I can think of better ways of spending Sunday than nursing a hangover

Which is why I always have a stock of booze at home.

Walking back from the cafe this evening it was pretty nippy.
