Things That Gladden The Heart

I hope it's a dirty diesel. (y)
If I told you that mine was remapped from 89bhp to 137bhp would that put me in your boy racer category? :eek:

It is indeed a dirty diesel but without the boy racer remapping. ? Was purchased when I was doing a motorway and A road commute every day but now that I’m not it’ll be replaced by a petrol when it’s time to renew. But I’m the sort who drives a car into the ground so I can’t see they being any time soon. I do need to get the aircon recharged though!
 
I live in a culdisac which is about a 300 yard walk from the local primary school. The parents use it to park when dropping off and picking up their kids from school. This week has been the first week back after covid closed it down. Working from home with the window open I can hear all the coming and going. Yesterday evening there were a couple of young girls (6 or 7 years old) walking ahead of their mums and discussing the plans for the upcoming weekend. If I hadn't have looked out of the window I would have thought that they were about 14 years old. The stuff they came out with was so innocent but brought a smile to my face. Seems like only yesterday that my now 25 year old daughter was that young age and going to the same school.
 
Came in early to find an ex-ICU patient on the ward. He was incredibly close to death, spent well over 100 days on the unit, went to a ward and spent a massive period there and has been receiving ongoing treatment at home but he looked so much better and was moving freely, lucid and alert and in great spirits. A real affirmation of the quality of care the NHS provides and had to nip into the kitchen to clear something from my eye!

Have been dead against learning to drive since the terrible instructor I had last year completed shattered my confidence. Wife eventually pushed me into it, had a lesson today at lunch, and I got on well with this instructor, he seems a lot more positive so in turn I'm feeling a little more positive about it now. (y)?

Defo the way forward

Passed 3 months after my 17th bday (now 33) I'd be lost without a car

I'm still trying to work out if the number of artists from that era that are still going is testament to their greatness or a damning indictment on the modern dross.

Mrs BiM commented at last year's weekender (Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, The Eagles) how refreshing it was to see so many youngsters, who'd presumably been introduced to this stuff by their parents and had now chosen to come to it. Knew all the words too.
