29th November 2023 - Changing Tyres - and Road Works

Thought for the day :"Jujitso is the ancient art of folding clothes with people still in them"



Interesting day - Quick walk over Moilin Farm as the road sweeper was clearing the lane and it seemed a good idea to take an alternative route - very muddy down there !

Then to Cardigan for a little shopping in Tesco and ont he way back we had a blow out of the slow puncture tyre ...

Luckily the Vectra still has a spare tyre - though it was flat and had to be pumped ...
And the jack that comes with the car is pretty rubbish 
And when I got the wheel brace out it snapped as soon as I tried to undo a wheel nut!!

So Susie starts the walk back to see if we can get tom out from his workign place - and Alex the farmer stops and comes across - 
Sadly he does not have any tools that can help but I recall that Will and Joy live at Pwll Glas just down the road so I find him and he is willing to come back to the car with a decent jack and adjustable spanner for wheel brace...

I call Susie and tell her to wait at Karen and Brian - the campsite on the main road and do a touch of adulting in changing the tyre ..

It is a real blow out - the wall having split ...   But the spare holds up...

In other news..., they have finally decided to re surface the lane - which is why the sweeper was clearing it it today...


Scheduled from 12th December to 21st December - will se what disruption we have...

Failed to do much more today ....  

Cheers !
