My little car was in the garage today getting a few wee repairs and its MOT.

Thankfully there wasn't anything major needing done, despite the indications that the car had been giving recently (it has alot of wee quirks that make an appearance every wee while. Well it had decided to bring them all back at the same time over the past couple of weeks. I think it knew it was almost MOT time and was just trying to freak me out).

Considering its an 11 year old car it really is in pretty good nick.

I had to make a pitstop this evening as I thought the boot of my car was about to pop open (it wasn't) and came across this wee man wandering around the carpark playing the bagpipes. I suspect his wife has had enough of the screeching and kicked him out to practice somewhere where he wont offend her ears.

Today it was time to head home from Inverness. All was going really well. We made good time down the road and made it safely to Lyndsays. Mum came and collected me and Eileen and we dropped Eileen off at home. However we had only made it to the top of the street when the car radiator went Kapoot! I had a flight to catch down to Luton and I still had to wash clothes, pack and get to the airport. Thankfully we got towed home by the AA and mum dropped me off in the butterfly mobile with plenty of time to spare. Phew!!

Today I had planned to go over and see Sarah with Eileen and Elise. We decided to go out for some lunch and a chinwag.

I had possibly the most delicious strawberry milkshake on the planet. Eileen somehow managed two, they were just that good.
We were joined by a strange little being who stole milkshake and caused hilarity in a variety of ways including, but not limited to, having her cardigan over her head and buttoned under her chin so the arms looks like crazy little ears.
Then we went to Queens Park and lay in the sunshine enjoying the beautiful weather before me, Eileen and Elise had to head home and collect her boys. However, the day had been too perfect up to this point.
So, the car decided to play up and I had to call out the AA. We ended up being 2 hours later than planned to collect Andrew and Lewis and I am now completely shattered. Thankfully the wait for the AA wasn't too bad and didn't ruin the whole day and I am still a happy little bumble bee.

Roasting!! Summer is here! Hopefully the good weather hangs around for the long weekend.

Also, my car is dusty.

Went out for a wee drive this afternoon and had to put my shades on in the car. Wanna know why?

Because it was sunny!!!!! All day, no rain or snow or howling wind. It was still freezing though....

Mon petite automobile!! It has returned!

My big brother, Graeme, asked to borrow my car 'for a wee while' before Christmas. His car was sick and he needed a car for work so, being a wonderful sister, I said yes. Little did I realise I would be sans car for a month. Despite being able to borrow my dad's car (one of the perks of living at home) I have missed my wee car so much!

However it has been a source of amusement as apparently my brother has got quite alot of stick from people because, as you can see, my car has pink windscreen wipers and pink butterflies on it. It also has them going up the sides. My car also has a funny little knack of not starting at really inappropriate times. Like in a petrol station for example. This lead to burley gentlemen saying things like 'D'ye need a jump start, luv?' before realising my 6'4 brother is sitting in the driving seat. Hee hee.
