Mussolini the motor car

Going around in circles

 

 

Today, I have mostly been going around in circles, I seem to have odd days like that, and today was one of them.

 It started off not too bad, managed to get up, feed the chickens,  take all my pills and do a bit of work on the latest model airplane. Had a small lunch and this afternoon, decided to try and find my way around Blogger, a little better than I do at present, so that I could put a few of my airplane builds on a different blog. BIG MISTAKE, It is soooooooooooooo frustrating (for me at least) to read the "how to", do what I think is exactly what I am meant to do, and bugger all happens. Then I read another persons' "how to" try again and bugger all happens again.

That took up most of my frustrating afternoon, until it was time to pick up my lad from the railway station, by now it was dark, my wife was still teaching and had the decent car, so my choice of vehicle is usually our Peugeot 205 (25 year old heap), the station isn't far so no problem as long as it starts, which it didn't !!!!!! that car is parked right up against the camping car,so couldn't use that either. One left, MUSSOLINI the 28 year old heap of a Fiat Panda. The driver's seat has collapsed, but with about 3 thick cushions on the floor, where the seat squab is, they lift your arse up enough to see where your going. Noisy and Smelly but at least it started, after having been sat in the garden for the last six months without being touched.

 Off I go, and promptly forget where the headlight switch is, no light in the car, so pushed every button I could feel, found the hazard lights, fan and lots of other stuff, until I remembered it wasn't a button and found the funny Italian switch which works the lights, when I arrived, I kept the engine running for the two minutes before the train arrived, lad got in and off home. Half way back, on comes this HUGE red light, it was like a fog light on the dashboard BIG AND BRIGHT. I did ask my lad if it had anything marked on it, guess what, NO it didn't. Typical, what's the point of that then? made it home none the less, for  "HAM NIGHT " 

 

 

 

I think Mussolini had a moustache for a while, if he didn't not to worry.

Ham Night, by the way is ham, egg, chips and baked beans, and was named that after having watched the animated film "The Pirates". If you haven't watched it, then you need to take the time to, utterly brilliant.

I don't need to guess what I will have to do tomorrow RUDDY FRENCH cars !!!!!!!!!!
