Holiday fatigue.....

With the week drawing to a close we have a bad case of holiday fatigue.

This morning it was out of bed early to take young man to meet mum, then back via another house we would not mind viewing.

This one might well tick the boxes but it's towards to the top end of what we can afford that's assuming they are not holding out for what the house went on sale for about 18 months ago which would make it beyond silly money..

All a bit academic really since there is no real money on the table for our house and the vendor of that particular house has vanished off the radar.

Anyway, back home to our wreck strewn drive, no one son had found the blown hose and replacement was well under way. With bits sourced from another spare V8

Sadly on the rover V8 there are a few bits of really fiddly plumbing and we had found them.

Now any normal vehicle. like say a Green Goddess, most hoses could be changed in about an hour tops.

Not this job, had to take a load of hoses off to get at the one that had gone and then it was charlie the contortionist to get the damn things back on.

Meant that number one son could not help mum clearing the patch we prepared last year to put in a willow fence with his little range rover and trailer. Nope he had to take a 7.5 ton flatbed to pick up the chopped down gorse bushes instead, still he could to in one trip what would have taken about 5 with the range rover.

Then it was off again to collect the young man from a little way up the M4.

Home now and teatime - Me? I am holidayed out, I could do bed at 8, thats 15 minutes.
