6th January 2024 - Transporter Return and Squeak Pea

Thought for the day: "5/4 of people admit they’re bad at fractions."


Rain 6: Dry 0

Small panic first off as I realised that I had not collected the keys for Nancy's car yesterday when I was with Tom and Jay  paying for the car work ...  and that it was Saturday and with the weather it was highly unlikely that they would be at the workshop....

Luckily Tom's mother was in and remembered me as I looked through the keys looking for a flick key that had a missing VW section - and  luckily it worked so we dropped then transported back to her - she was a happy kiddo !






Dodged the showers and got back but not in time to walk the dogs, well that was my excuse !

Moved the cars around and found I could park the Vectra neatly to the side in the drive leaving plenty of room for other cars if needed. Put the cover on the Volvo as it seems to be getting a water leakage into the boot - could be the leaves in the seals - but thought it was a good idea anyway and covered the Landie as well - Had a deluge 20 minutes later ...
 
Put the girlies away this evening and took the opportunity of taking a couple of photos of Squeak Pea who is really growing well now - fingers crossed we may keep this one ..



In other news

Born on this day 1905 in Rhymney,
Idris Davies, miner, schoolmaster and poet, described as the voice of a generation, who is perhaps best remembered for ‘The Bells of Rhymney’ from his debut collection, which became well known after being set to music in 1957.
Davies, whose poetry was inspired by mining disasters and the depressed South Wales coal mining communities, began writing poetry after being made unemployed as a miner following the General Strike of 1926.
