Cool

May has arrived with a plom! It’s been the hottest day of the year. So I spend a lot of it in a car. I had to drive to Essex to do a site visit. Cruising along in the Upgrade with air conditioning was decedent to say the least!

Gone are the days of arriving looking windswept and interesting in the Comedy Car with the windows open.

The Comedy Car has found a new home. Where a new person can giggle as they wizz along. I’m sad to see him go. We’ve had many adventures together.

I’m very happy with the Upgrade though. He feels huge compared to the Comedy Car. I’m loving the air conditioning. I’d forgotten what a joy that is.

Moving feast

I had a bit of a food fail today. I had to do a day trip to Birmingham to do a site visit for a conference I’m working on. I wasn’t hungry on my way there, so didn’t bother stopping. On the way back, I thought I’d treat myself to an M&S Best Prawn Sandwich. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure.

Played Russian roulette with my fuel gauge but made it to the BP in Kettering. Once the Comedy Car was refuelled, I headed into the M&S food bit to refuel me. Not a single sandwich, wrap or roll to be seen!!

Apparently the delivery lorry broke down. By this point it was 4:30pm and I was really hungry. So had to make do with a finger buffet instead. Slightly eclectic mix, but it was slim pickings. And what I had was so good (even if it was meant to be heated).
