MOT time is upon us again

For those of you who don't know what an MOT is here in the UK it's basically a mechanical/electrical/emissions test which happens once a year for your car/van/lorry/tank if it's three years old or more.... the idea behind it is simple .... to keep death traps off the road....unfortunately it doesn't keep idiots off the road .... but that's another matter.....

Well after last year's MOT failure on emissions I finally got around to replacing our catalytic converter ... we are no long melting ice cubes in the Arctic regions and polar bears and penguins can breathe a sigh of relief .....

The beamer only failed on one headlight bulb which was replaced in situ and a new type MOT certificate was freshly printed..... another sigh of relief.

We are currently going through a rather cold snap in the weather here in the UK, for those of you who are in the UK BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR 

for those of you who are elsewhere (such as the Cayman Islands ....... you lucky cow) you miss this weather ..... go on admit it.....

On the family front Freya has a rather nasty ear infection for which she is taking antibiotics .... apparently her eardrum is perforated but she seems cheerful enough (when not tired).... the Sullen one (Lauren) is still at college and seems to be enjoying life (mostly), Xbox Boy is currently counting the days until he joins the Army on the 11th March... And FOMO boy (Andrew) is missing out on broadband today because his step dad can't be arsed to turn it back on for him (short story involving coal and the lack of getting and announcing he can't be arsed) ...... normal service will be resumed tomorrow once lesson has been learned :) 

I'm seriously considering stopping updating this blog mainly because I'm getting rather jaded with soap-boxing because nothing ever changes in the world.... the jury is out on that decision at the moment ..........I will return at some point in the future and update you on this subject.....

I'm getting between 5 or 6 thousand hits a month so somebody is reading my blatherings ..... but I'm simply losing interest in it.... I initially started it so that my two daughters could find out what was going on in my life...... but a one way street wasn't my intention ............

There you go.....
