There is another change upon the horizon as 'flat cap man's' car is due to be changed....
And why rid myself of a perfectly good car? well in a earlier post I talked about simplifying my life by cutting down on projects and the like enabling myself just to concentrate upon a few things and doing those things well. So, as mentioned in the same earlier post, walking, fishing and gardening are becoming my main focus with perhaps a little cider brewing (of course) and 'flat cap man's' car is really not suitable as she's only a hatchback with little room unless the rear seats are folded down for creatures such as this....
......plus the outdoor gear that is now becoming necessary as I start to explore trails further into the wild areas of these isles. 'FCM's' car is not really that at all, in fact with an engine remap taking her BHP to 210 and a performance that has put many a sports car to shame as well as a massive grin on my ugly mug in doing so, she is quite the wolf in sheep's clothing. But I need something bigger and proper flat cap wearing, so I've been viewing cars but with no joy at the moment (having a limited budget does not help) but by the time you read this today I shall be looking at something most definitely deserving of the title 'flat cap man's' car....
Perhaps a tad posh but what the hell if it fits the bill....
Til the next time take care,
John the down
Oh I almost forgot, an easy thing when the dog bites, I have started a new blog up on Wordpress hopefully something a little different from my usual rambleings.. the link be here https://wooly2165.com/
Don't do it. You'll only saddle yourself with more baggage to carry. Come to your senses. Besides remember previously you mentioned your inclination for assuming expenses you later regretted. DO NOT GO THERE. You don't need the trouble. This is not the time for such frivolities.
ReplyDeleteAh Mr. Silvius I fear you have missed the point or perhaps I have not explained myself clearly enough. The change of transport is part of my plan to hopefully allow me to lead a steadier, less stressful lifestyle and some clear thinking on my part has gone into this change. I thank you for the concern my friend but I assure you there is nought to be worried about concerning this change.
DeleteGood to hear that although the dog still likes an occasional bite, it's now more like a nasty nip, tempered by the lovely George and yourself recognising the cause and dealing with it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time away from work; I hope things have been sorted by the time you return.
Off to see the new blog > > > > > > > > >
Hi Rambler, indeed the dog is ever present but having George at my side helps more than my words can express. I hope you like t'other blog though it is still a 'work in progress'.
DeleteHa ha! Flat cap chaps drive Mercs? Well I never.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they do Simon, indeed they do.
DeleteI recall long ago the Audi being referred to by motoring journalists as the poor man's Mercedes, John :)
ReplyDeleteAh remember that too, yet I cannot for the life of me remember where from my good man!
DeleteNice Mercedes. Not sure if my comment out on the other blog is there. I have problems with Wordpress. If it's not there, let me know and I'll email it or post it here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark, couldn't see any comment but Wordpress is still like going into the unknown for me. Hope you liked my 'work in progress'.
DeleteSo far so good. What the comment was is that I'm a big fan of Ragnar Lothbrok. The Vikings on the History Channel. My kids are decedents because of their mothers Danish heritage.
DeleteLOL by bigger I was thinking like SUV sized. Maybe a range rover or something. Four wheel drive is always nice :)
ReplyDeleteI started by looking at SUV's PP but to honest I wouldn't use them fully enough to warrant buying one, the majority of 'off roading 4x4's get over here is kerbing em at the supermarket! So I'm looking at a bit of luxury in my dotage, with a decent boot of course ;-)
DeleteEnjoy the break from work John and good luck with the new car. The new blog is looking good and interesting :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Robin, though I'd rather be at work than fending off the dog. Glad you like the work in progress ;-)
