The new and the old

Well, an interesting day.

Cleaner, Bev, is very nice and efficient. She loves cleaning. We chatted in between and all is well but I am still not comfortable with the idea of paying someone to clean for me. But I shall force myself to accept it! And I did get lots of writing done while she was here as I was terrified to move out of the study.

Alfie Porsche has been in the garage garage i.e. not ours but a repair one, for about six months and they can't get him started. Husband made the decision to put him for sale as is. The advert went up Saturday and today he was bought. The man, a car renovator, also came to the house, saw Brian Beetle, and bought him too. 

It is sad to see them go but practical. We've not used Brain - Brian but the sentence still stands! -  for several years and they've been causing Husband a lot of stress he can do without.

So we will have an empty double garage - because of course we don't keep Mini in there. And on that front, we will indeed be getting a new Mini - when they can find it. Apparently it's a display model and no-one is quite sure where it is at the moment.

I find that every time I go on the internet for anything I get distracted and end up buying a book or two. Does anyone else have this problem?

Wow, you really are doing a major clean out. Two whole cars!

Glad you were able to sell the two cars, and soon Mini will be gone too. Time for a new vehicle!

You seem to have winnowed your garage. Now to fill it with lawnmowers and porch furniture and house paint, and you'll be all set.

My 944 is still going strong although the fuel pump had now stared whining. I'll try putting some MS2 in the fuel.

Meanwhile we squeeze our CRV into our tiny garage. Of course, we have a winter coming on soon.

Nice to have sold the car so quickly and another one on top of that.
I'm always getting distracted when I go online.
