Good day - I said goodbye for the moment to work colleagues and friends and have just found out how many people like me! That set off the fact that the hydraulic pipe on my car has busted and my mechanic can't get the part until Monday - when I'll be up and away.

So now I've got to hire a car for the weekend and get my car to my son's 60 miles from the repair shop after I've left the country. The good bit there is that my daughter sorted out the car hire on the internet and my mechanic. a friend of my son, has said that he will take the car to my son's house. Ain't people wonderful?
