Happy new year!

Here we are six days in.

One car is poorly
I am job hunting due to a company reshuffle
The rotting garden gates are falling off their hinges since Storm somethingorother blew through
The Garage roof is leaking, probably from the same
There is Covid in TFW towers

How is 2025 for you lot ?

recovering from FLU - lost most of Christmas to a haze of hallucinations from high temperatures and 0 alcohol was consumed

In positive news, not eating for five days, which I think people call a “fasting” diet has yielded 6Kg deciding to leave me for pastures new

All good this side, bloody cold down in Woking, kids were playing in the snow on Sat. Crazy buggers were in shorts and T’s.

Think it’s time I find work in the UK, I currently contract to a company in South Africa but get paid in SA Rands which doesn’t help me much.

So far so good :+1:

Naff start lol :rofl: redundancy looms here also.

I found the keys to the Lancer!
When I say found I actually mean that I remember the safe place I hid them in just before Christmas but only after searching many many other places the only set of keys could have been.

Perhaps I should get another set cut and coded, having just one is a bit of a liability.

But three weeks idle with lows of -8’C, will it start ?

Of course it does, first turn of the key, Japanese quality and a German battery.
Nothing at all to do with the Good-Luck spirits seeing the gates don’t actually work if I should want to drive it out.
