We took delivery of it on Saturday, and by Sunday morning it had leaked enough oil that it was in the shed parked up and Jack, Dad and I were sat around in the kitchen looking through various manuals.
The one handy thing about buying an ex MoD vehicle is that we should be able to fix almost everything ourselves given that there is a 1) user manual 2) repair manual and 3) parts catalogue.
It comes with extras such as a spare wheel, a gun rack, and a fold down table where you can plan your mortar attacks. All necessary extras I'm sure you will agree.
Some other notable things that happened over the last few weeks:
- The cat was sick all over the carpet. I don't know what it ate, but it ate a lot of it.
- Jessie went to the vet and we've been told that she is too fat by a whole 2kg.
- The Portaloo that the builders are using was blown onto its side with expected consequences
Operation clear out Papas house is well underway as he prepares for the move up to Seaford at some point soon. One thing is for sure is that he certainly has a lot of stuff!
I'm also currently in the process of designing a little website for myself because i've got a few wooden items that I'm sure people might like to buy.
Daniel is back from Hong Kong tomorrow morning and is not happy about the fact that it was 15 degrees when he left, but only about 5 degrees now!
I just caught a clip of the film pretty woman and was reminded of a time earlier this year where mum and I stayed up late to watch it - she because of her love of Richard Gere, and I because I had never seen it before. Strange how little things like that become lasting memories.

Poor cat - Better out than in of course! Poor Jessie! diet city now I suppose? Did Beanie have her foot on the scales perhaps? Poor Portaloo - thankfully unoccupied or that would have been a sight to behold! Lovely memory of your film night - I can see the resemblance of RG and SL.....Your beautiful Mum was obviously conflicted but clearly chose wisely when it mattered:) Looking forward to more vehicle dispatches - it looks a lot of fun??
ReplyDeleteNew toy going to be lots of fun ! Poor Jessie , diet time. She’s not going to be happy 😞. You’re all being kept busy with Papa’s house move 😊😊x
ReplyDeleteI remember your mum telling me about watching Pretty Woman with you and her surprise you had not seen it before, given she'd watched it a few times!!!! Good luck with the repairs! X
ReplyDeleteMy wife died of cancer some 6 weeks ago. She followed your site for some 4 years ago. Perhaps you could continue the debate as it could help people like me
