Since the thread, which began May 2021, seems to have vanished, I wish to create a new one.
From Darkness to Light.
1. I paid for a condensed tumble dryer, which I reserved on Tuesday; for delivery, tomorrow. Also paid for a three-year warranty. (In cash)
2. I made a poem, entitled 'Storm in a teacup', about the arrival of Agnes. (SEYMOUR!)
3. Bought more Farm-Fresh milk today.
The moving yoghurt machine terrified me though.
Omg I used to love that show lol
I only knew they were a thing as per a little segment on Teletubbies.
Lol yep I'm living the life of luxury me.
Milkmen have never been a thing where I am. How the other half live.
1. I went in to Belfast today on the bus. I didn't fancy driving today, and luckily the bus only had 3 other people on it.
2. I had an apologetic email from the milkman and he said he'll bring it tomorrow as he couldn't deliver it this morning.
3. Had a checkup earlier and except for my sight I'm 100%. ️
1. I slept really well, got over 8+ hours last night.
2. Already had my morning walk.
3. Sitting with Bowie now and listening to music (Queen, this morning).
I have a byelo-russian internet friend from the Alt Physics sector, who I believe may have tourettes syndrome, judging for our few face to face chats.
He remembers us and our cats every christmas, he's a really lovely bloke.
thanks dear IS, There is so little understanding here about turrets and this particular person is so sweet, yet his ticks take his body into a wild, ecstatic dance, scaring people who don't understand. I have a touch of it myself.
It's the pricing I'm most concerned about - not really bothered about how it looks (provided no damage) if it does what it needs to.
That's understandable, with manuals there's so much to process and think about it can be easy to get overwhelmed. And nearly every car now is an auto I think so it makes sense to drive one.
Wish I could give you a special upvote for item 1...
Hummed a lullaby to man with turret's on bus to sooth him so driver would not kick him off.
made a new origami stim toy.
slept in an extra half hour!
Yeah, I haven't got one before now largely because of pride. I spent two years learning to drive a manual only to abandon those skills for an automatic etc...
But it's just something that's not getting any easier, and I've been driving for 5 years.
I got a new car in 2021, it's an auto because I really struggle with the gears in a manual car. I bought one of those Peugeot 208s the reviews were really good for them. I know nothing about cars so always go for what's classed as good by other people lol.
Yes I go there a lot.
I mean new to me, yeah. Basically the cheapest one I could find that does what I need it to.
If you mean "New to you" may I recommeend that you don't buy a high mileage automatic, and ideally don't buy one that has had any sort of "repair".
Would be my recommendation based on my experince of the Zundfolge gearboxes often fitted to 90's european cars, and extended based on the mind bending complexity that I know hides inside of Automatic gearboxes.
Downpatrick?
1. Paid in my £100 premium bond.
2. Went to the theatre group.
3. Decided I need a new car. I've had the same manual for 3.5 years, and I want an automatic. I'm fed up of the stress that the clutch brings every time I have to move off. If I can reduce the stress in one area of my life, then I will.
