It started bad...
A phone call from the company to say that they are giving me another weeks leave, but i'll be joining the oldest ship in the fleet (a effin rustbucket!!!) in nigeria. the ship has been attacked by pirates twice in the past month!!! the last time, the captain and chief engineer were held with Ak47s pointed at their head and made to empty the safe and stores. what joy.
secondly...
day before the mot i find that for some reason the landy has dumped all of the power steering fluid over the roadside. The seals where the drop arm comes out are shagged, with a big puddle underneath the drop arm. So £240 lighter, i should have a reconned steering box arriving tomorrow.
thirdly...
when i went to move it onto the drive, i couldn't as one of the front tires was punctured, and the nearside rear brake was seized on, jammed solid. WTF, how did that happen !?!.
off to bed before anything else happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
