oh come on. You don't like wedges that much. I finally got my shoes from Office, by the way, and they match my latex, I feel, so it's all good. Bmovie?
She has very pretty feet though. And life's been extremely slow lately.

Tonight I shall mostly be driving from south London to north Norfolk, as tomorrow is my mum's wedding. Thank god they finally got my car sorted yesterday, at least it should be a slightly nicer drive now.
I just treated it to the extra special valet service at my favoured local hand-wash place. It's now so clean that, um, all the dents, scratches, and other imperfections in the paintwork stand out really badly. D'oh.
As one of my friends from a few years back was fond of saying, "You can't polish a turd".
It's driving fine now, only lingering problem is some juddering when riding the clutch when the engine is cold. It didn't do that before the clutch was changed (when the engine was rebuilt), so I'm not entirely happy about it... I dunno if I can face another round of visiting the engine place to get it sorted out though, presuming that that's what's required.
Ah, yes. I've been patching my bike up with a 2 pot black paint kit from Halfords. Includes filler/primer, a sanding/blending bad and a little tool to scrape out loose paint/rust etc.
I do stand to be corrected, but we get the same on the comercials when we have new clutches fitted, and loaded hill starts are often a " two stall " maouvre, it my just need bedding in...but you have done quite a few miles since it was fitted. I think it took the sprinter around 3k miles to really behave normally, but then we only use that for light work, so isn't really under load much.
Suddenly thought, whilst you are in Norfolk, you are not far from a mate of mine who has his own oven, and I'm sure would extend " mates rates " on a respray...there are several cars at his new premesis which are in various stages of completion so you could see the quality of his work. Text me and I will text him and prime him of your visit,,,although it would be a trek from London...your call....
