Every so often we have one of those days.
Filled with belief in dud petrol we changed the fuel in the strimmer - no chance, something is seriously wrong.
So off we went into town to get a fork for the garden and a strimmer. We stopped outside of "gortterbuys" as we call it and the student emerged with a fork and I fired up the 806 to drive home, well no actually i didn't; the battery was as flat as a flat thing.
This was a not good thing so a call was made to the greasy garage and much underbonet poking about was undertaken. It seems that the earth lead was not making the best connection in the world. A jump start was undertaken and home I came
by which time rather annoyingly the car had charged itself back up.
The earth terminal came off the battery and I had a general clean and tighten. By this time the student had gone into the garden lent on the new fork and it broke in half.
This was turning into a good day....
Back into town and another fork bought, not from grotterbuys, who received a severe talking too and their offer of a replacement firmly declined.
So it was on to the strimmer shop and a heavy duty Stihl stimmer bought for rather a lot more than we would have paid had I followed my gut instinct to get a strimmer last Saturday in France.
But anyway it was back home and do the school run.
There is good news however, we have done the deal to finance the finishing of next door. We sign up this week.
