I’m soaked through, have been for hours.
I took today to learn to change the engine oil in a car, my car. Well to start with I had to make a repairation to the exhaust, easy as pie. Just picked up. Kit from halfords and stuck it all together. Draining the oil involved a quick google to get instructions, jack the front up onto blocks, but then came trouble as the previous person to do it tightened the sump valve and oil filter too much. Well with some violence this was solved.
While martin went off to give blood, I closed up, refilled the oil, and then lost half of the new oil due to a minor mistake. So finally seal up the underside of the car, while the heavens opened, hot covered in oil, went up to the boat to find the laptop soaked, along with lots of other stuff, oh well!
So martin and I went driving around to find more oil, and Chichester is flooded, seems they can’t build roads, or even roofs!
Well I’m all ready to leave for Switzerland, actually can’t wait, with this bloody weather, even if all this lightening is awesome.
Yesterday involved specs shopping around bristol due to a two hour queue for the Bristol museum to see the bansky exhibit. No we won’t come back tomorrow an hour before the museum opens.
And for something positive, martin and I signed up for our PADI 1 course ![]()
See ya in swissland.
