Had MrsLK drive me to the doctor today. Somehow I've picked up an infection which has seen my temperature hit 39.7 °C. Very uncomfortable and feel totally drained. Really appreciated the super cold Aircon in the bus - new compressor last year and a full regas makes it work like a charm. Temps here have been 36+ all week. We've decided we need Aircon in the house....
36 degrees must be no fun at all esp when you're poorly!
I think the next few years will see more and more people considering aircon for their houses.

Unfortunately I know what it's like had a touch about 2 weeks back and here until yesterday it's been 38C hotter in the N than the S, now a cool 25C but we just missed out on the much needed rain.
Take it easy and I'm sure you're been well looked after and then there's still the rest of the holidays and a few bottles that you've missed out on so far.

Been advised that the MOT advisory of front turret severe corrosion isn’t severe. MOT retest either today or tomorrow morning.

I may have a 215 back by tomorrow...

Was actually yesterday but took the old girl for a drive around Suffolk. Had some fun with a combine harvester on the A12 and then a close encounter with 'tractorboy' down a country lane. Treated her to new rear tyres, then once I was home, hosed her down, cos it looked like she'd been through a haystack in the Sahara!

Just passed the MoT. Another year of happy motoring. Yay.:D:D
Due to lockdown only did 3000 miles this year.:(:(

Advisory was both front tyres wearing slightly on outside edge. Am I right in thinking this is a characteristic of these cars, especially as most of my driving now seems to be mainly parking?
