    And the Toyota passengers its MOT

    Need to walk back up and collect it now
    No idea where "passengers" came from, though I strongly suspect autocorrect, which recently informed me that the word "of" was spelled incorrectly

    Anyway, I just walked back up to collect it, and so the car has returned in all its glory

    And I know I walk fast, but the Apple Watch decided I was actually running up there and is now congratulating me on completing my "first outdoor run"

        Precipitation heavy in Cardiff though intermittent.

        Finding the place not easy, getting in once place found even less easy and distinctly not obvious.

        I'd have thunk the place for a front door was out the front on the street rather than around the back down a side passage with the bins in.

        So once I'd spotted a gasper out having a quick drag on a fag, as it were, entry was effected.

        Even more awkward than the Swansea office across the dock.

        Nice lunch with Strangelove Sis to make up for it all, and several dvds purchased in HMV and some books purchased in Waterstones.

        Off home shortly.

        Oh, and it appears that the trip to fecking Carmarthen is still on.

        It better not be fecking raining.

        And I remembered to check the tyre pressures before setting off, as it seems that's part of the MOT now
        Really?

        They'll want the feckers polished next.

        Windy again here, and the blue sky is turning grey.

          Yep. The day when one of mine fails due to "Excessive buildup of empty plastic bottles and Greggs wrappers in the passenger footwell" can't be far off

            After getting back home, I spent a couple of hours getting the accumulated bills and such like sorted into the appropriate order, something that's been neglected since I moved out of next door and into this house.

            Chaos is a word that springs to mind, but fecking abject chaos is more like it.

            After completing a portion of the filing, tea/dinner was some more of yesterday's roast beef lamb.

            It was quite nice.

            This evening's epic was "Equalizer II" with Denzel Washington.

            It was good but not as fresh as the first one.

            It didn't help that I'd spotted the twist about 25 minutes in.

              For tea tonight I made spag bol. I haven't made that in ages for some reason, and now I'm sat here trying to work out what that reason could possibly be, for it was absolutely delicious

              As an indication of how long it is since I last made it, there were two unopened packs of spaghetti in the cupboard: one BBE March 2018, the other April 2018

              Tasted fine though

                Barely matured.

                One has to lay these things down you know.

                I suppose it's TFBSZ since I'm back to the sloughe of desponde in the morning.

                This health surveillance tulipe is pushing me towards making a postal delivery.

                  mm lamb shanks, food of the gods and the slow cooker!!!

                  a nice pint of "roasted nuts" I did salute AtW first!

                  night all

                    Tonight's Feature Presentation was a rewatch of Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003). Excellent stuff

                    And then some more of The West Wing, bringing me to the two-part election special, after which there's just a few more to go and I can finally be rid of it until I misguidedly decide to watch it all again in another few years

                    Goodnight all
