With the student safely in work it was time to limp the 806 over to greasy garage after the clutch cable snapped last week. Driving a car without having a clutch is a bit tricky but being used to old style crash gearboxes once on the move it was not too bad. Used to be one of my party tricks on the bedford to change gear without touching the clutch pedal. it;s not hard when you get the hang of it.
Still this now reduces us to one working car. Course there is always the fire engine I have no objection to using that. In fact we used a fire engine to pull the front of Tallies old clio out this morning. That was after I destressed the transmission. These old trucks get very wound up if you drive them on firmnish surfaces in 4x4 Isabelle was seriously wound up. Still all sorted now. ,
Next off a bit of mowerology; the mower has seen a bit of service these last few days and a couple of acres have been sheared so all in all things are going OK. Oh yes, one of my spies told me we are to get our annual unannounced visit from the fostering service this week Better get some power tools out and leave them lying round, with with various saws axes and Stanley knives so they have something to moan about.
She is bound to turn up any time now, best head off and clean up.
