Zipped up

A few weeks ago, the zip in my ‘every day’ riding boots went. Bit of a panicky moment when I realised I was stuck in it. Managed to squeeze my foot out thankfully.

So off it went to the cobblers. I picked it up today. Many reasons why I’d choose to have the zip replaced. They’re such comfortable boots. Definitely well worn in. They’ve got many, many years left in them. I’m loathed to bin stuff when it can be repaired.

The other boot was repaired a few years back, so now I have a matching pair. Again.

Cylinders

Good news, the Comedy Car is back. It needed a new fuel injector. So that’s 5 I’ve bought this year as I had 4 replaced on the Buddymobile.

Honestly, I can’t remember needing to have one replaced before. Now 5 in a year. Praying the other 3 keep going.

I think someone is trying to tell me something. Because both of my vehicles are considerably better now they’re firing on all cylinders. The Comedy Car has a turn of speed I haven’t experienced before. I mean, neither are going to break any land speed records, but you get my drift.

Wonder if I’m firing on all cylinders?!

Repair shop

Today has been an odd sort of day. The repair man came to look at my horsey washing machine this morning. Sadly it’s beyond repair. Several metal bits sheared so proper job. 😔 He was amazed it had lasted as long as it had.

So the hunt is on for a replacement. And form a cunning plan to get the old one out of my utility room without the need to remove the door or fridge / freezer. It’s rather compact you see. The utility room, not the washing machine.

This afternoon, I picked up my riding boot as the zip had gone on it. Cracking job done and a bargain too!

So not all bad. The kittens were boycotting the outside world today. Obviously the rain stopped play. Hugo really does make me laugh. He does like to sheep in the weirdest positions.
