Still the sun pounds down, and I don't really take advantage of it. To my credit though I don't waste the day perving on the net, and actually get some jobs done in town. I pop into the bike dealer with details of the Piaggio I went to look at. Leave well alone came the advice.
Messed up and felt the car running out of petrol on the way home. Decided to cycle to the garage to get a gallon.
By 20 to 4 it was time to get in the car to go and collect A for her lesson, and of course I had forgotten all about it. Hell, in panic I rushed to get a can, which surprisingly had fuel in it. I sniffed. It was definitely petrol. shoved it in the car and then realised it was probably leaded fuel for the lawnmower.
Got to the garage, but a couple of minutes later the car was knocking horribly,and sounded as though it was only running on one of it's three cylinders. I waited and it got no better. Had to stop in the middle of the road, while a fellow instructor looked on as though I was mad.
Gave it one more go, risked blowing the engine to pieces, and eventually got going again. it sorted itself out.
A, who has been making brilliant progress, drove like a cat on acid and made me wonder if we are doing as well as I had thought. she has her theory test on Saturday. Hope she passes as I don't want her giving up.
The sunshine is due to end on Thursday. I really should be enjoying it more whilst I have the chance.
