Today new wipers were fitted. Why is that imprortant, you may ask? Well, regardless of what sellers say, the new one just don't fit. The full wiper that is, the rubber wiper blade so was fully compatible with the old ones, so switched they were! And I did it between dinner and coffee!
 
Today was another night shift I just finished off, including some child work, ah, support from the kids, with the aim of getting her through MOT / TÜV... And, I'll be damned, the right front lights do the exact same thing as when I did the front years ago: side indicator light not working, front light beam not working, indicators are working despite having no earthing, parking light acting as an indicator light... And stupid me did NOT summarize the solution last time I sorted it out. Oh, and I broke the side indicator glass. Did I mention MOT is due tomorrow, being the last day of the months? And with work, there will be an early shift tomorrow, as my friendly inspector is now working 90 minutes away from my place. Even better, while solving, almost, the ignition and running problems, I managed to melt the window cleaner tank. Guess what was on the MOT findings? The washer pump being dead...

She doesn't like me a lot lately... Any idea how I can smooth over my relationship with a 42 year old British lady? ;-)

Make a cup of tea without offering her one and drink it in front of her whilst pretending to be engrossed in something far more interesting. Blatant cold shoulder. She'll get the message

Ah, that sounds like solid plan, first thing in the morning! And I decided to cancel the MOT, no point in driving three odd hours, getting up at 5, paying a second visit, which will fail anyway, only to reschedule a second visit in a couple of weeks!

just one thing, as my wive is French and I don't have any experience with British women, does coffee work as well? If not, sacrifices are sacrifices, and I'll do what has to be done! I cold even do with Champagne, if necessary, or a good Gin Tonic!

Champagnes even better, a G&T would be nuclear to a bit of brit crumpet
