Breakdown
I'm trying to avoid the hat trick tomorrow. Last weekend my other half's scooter broke down. The petrol station had their diesel and unleaded mixed up apparently. "Oh it happens all the time." Was that an apology, if it was I missed it.
And silly bollocks had to push the Vespa all 8 km home up and down hills and along narrow windy roads. Took me two hours and it rained. Hang on.... Just looked up the weight on the Vespa website. 225 lbs. Blimey, at least Charlton didn't lose.
And the weekend before that the car wouldn't start. The battery was flat. Bloody new car 6 months old. Although as someone said to me, I might have bought it 6 months ago, but seriously when did it come of the production line in Japan? Fortunately one of the boys in the office came to the rescue.
So tomorrow, I am hoping for a nice easy day, no trauma, no Charlton defeat is guaranteed and perhaps a nice stroll along the beach as the weather has picked up after hitting some record low temperatures this week. ¶ 08:22
