While the world around me inaugurates a new president, celebrates 1.92m unemployed in England and finally get the statistics they need to prove the UK is in recession, I’ve been quietly busy doing what I can to help mum, the in-laws, and trying to get things sorted at home in time for Susie & I having a few days away starting tomorrow afternoon – Malaga here we come.
So what’s been cracking off? Walk the dog for mum on a couple of evenings when she’s wanted to stay with dad, who’s been up and down all week. Diagnose a flat battery on the in-laws’ car due to the rear hatch door being left ajar and the courtesy light being on for 4-5 days, putting a charger on it and making sure that all was OK after 24 hours charging. Then mum couldn’t turn the key in the ignition of her car -- don’t know what the problem was but it turned for me. Mark’s scooter was booked for an MoT, but I had to take it in for him as he was doing exams, only it wouldn’t start. With the help of a friend who also owns a 400 Burgman we diagnose a loose carburettor, loose connection on the auto choke. It duly passed the rescheduled MoT the next day (Thursday) and I spent that afternoon giving it a good washing down and polishing so it should be good for a while now.
Today has been spent getting cameras charged, SD cards cleared, digital photographs filed, tagged, sorted and backed up. Then researching things to do in Malaga and getting ready for tomorrow. Laundry has been brought up to date. Just got the packing to do now.
