-after 2hrs of solid effort, my beloved car is clean and polished. Well on the outside. The sad part is that if I had done this a few times over the last few years, the layer of shine would be over nice smooth duco and not over lumps and bumps of peeling paint. Well, can't say I wasn't warned. Papa used to always pester me to polish it. However, the recent hot weather seems to have been the last straw. The paint has only lifted since then.  Ah well. I either keep a spotty, peeling car or I don't.  Tomorrow he goes for a service, I shall ask the mechanic's view on his longevity. Next weekend I will clean the inside whether I am keeping him or not.



-the jasmine has had another go at invading the house. Sneakily wound around the table leg. This time I put zero on the cut ends. See if that stops it!


-I still don't have screen doors. The installer called again this morning- he is going to the big service today. I am selfishly disappointed but there is no way I would give him additional grief over it.

figured out this morning why the car has been running a bit poorly. I have been meaning to check the oil for ages. So, this morning I finally pulled my dipstick out and lo - 4mm oil visible. Most of a bottle of oil later and broom is running much smoother. Will I ever learn to check more often? Even when I know broom uses oil, nearly 10 yrs, yeh, no excuses, I know she uses oil. Will I blow up the engine instead? only time will tell.
