Here it is Sunday morning and I am just
getting around to writing a post, both Friday and Saturday were busy
days for me, busier than usual that is.
Yesterday was Daemon's second birthday
and Kelli and Jono had a party for him at a local park, so yesterday
morning from the time I got out of be I was busy till around 3pm when
I had a nap. Things were made a little more hectic by only having one
car, this I will explain in a minute, we were using Jessica's car to
take the presents over to the park and the food and of course us.
The party went longer than Kelli
thought it would we didn't get home here till around 2.30pm so the party lasted 3 ½ hours and there was about 10 adults and 9 children
present, the little ones had a ball playing on the play equipment and
swings in fact they didn't want to leave when we decided it was time
to head home.
Of course Kelli was up late Friday
night baking cupcakes and a brownie pizza, she iced the cupcakes
Saturday morning and I took charge of getting the pies and sausage
rolls heated and I also made a potato bake for the day of which ¾
was eaten at the party the rest we had for tea.
Now let's get back to why we had only
one car, my car shit itself on Friday afternoon while we were at
Lemon Tree Passage picking up the cake. We got there ok no problem at
all I parked the car and waited while Kelli ran into get the cake
which only took a few minutes. Anyway she gets back into the car I go
to start it and it backfires and smoke poured out from under the
bonnet and then it would start but not run, by that I mean it would
kick over and then just die.
We had to ring the NRMA who came and
looked at it and said there was nothing they could do I would have to
be towed, so they arranged for a tow truck to come and tow me back to
Cardiff, the distance was 54 K's cost us $170. Well I rang Tim when I
was in the tow truck and suggested he upgrade our coverage which he
did it still cost the same but being upgraded means we get more for
our money.
So now my car is parked outside of
Gaspower and Tim will speak to them on Monday, we are not happy as
everyone knows we only had the car in at Gaspower last Tuesday and
they were suppose to have fixed the problem and it comes back and it
is worse.
Friday night it was close to 9pm when I
got home, thankfully Kelli's dad Rex came and picked up Kelli &
Daemon and brought them home he then hung around talking to Tim till
I arrived at Gaspower and then he brought Tim over so he could pay
the tow truck driver and drive us home. I was very thankfully for
this as I had asked Natasha to drive her dad over to Gaspower and
bring us home but she said she couldn't do it she was busy.
It is now Sunday afternoon, I didn't
get to finish this, this morning before we left to go over to Kathy's
house for Summer's birthday lunch. It was a nice lunch there was only
me and Jes, Kelli and Daemon, Leo and Michael's parents as well.
Busy busy busy better than being bored.

Sorry to hear about the car problems. That is always such a pain both in money and convenience.
ReplyDeleteYeah I do not what I would do without Jessica letting me use her car
Delete"My car shit itself." I'm sorry, but that's hilarious! I'm used to hearing, "My car took a shit." This version is so much better...even though I'm sorry it happened to you. :(
ReplyDelete-andi
It is a common saying here down under, and it is oh so true
DeleteCar troubles are the worst! I hope you can get it all sorted out. It should have been fixed already the last time!
