Okay it is time I posted again. Hopefully if I write this in word and let it spell check for me and manage some paragraph divisions it will be more acceptable to all.
I seem to spend a great deal of my life in a car one way or another. I drive to work and back every day which takes about 40 minutes each way if I don’t have any errands to run on the way. When I get to work I get into another car, courtesy of the government and travel around visiting clients in their homes. I average around 30 kms in the work car daily.
Most of you know that I have finally bought a car that I like. My little sporty fiesta XR4 is great. I actually enjoy the drive into and out of town. I find it fun to watch the people that are staring at my racy little car. Steve thinks it could sound better; it is a little too quiet for his taste, but it still turns heads. I can hide inside and not be noticed as I have quite tinted windows.
Well up until this week I was driving a very ordinary Holden Viva station wagon while at work which smelled of pickled onions for some unknown reason. This car was rejected by one of the other nursing rounds as it was not very nice to drive at all. My manager sent an email to tell me it was to be replaced this week, and when the new car arrived, I got to move all the stuff over into it and farewell the Viva. I took possession of the new “grad” car on Tuesday, a Hyundai i30. Although Korean cars aren’t highly thought of this one is much nicer to drive than the Holden. The only drawback is the overwhelming new car smell. Ah well you can’t have everything.

ReplyDeleteYou don't have to use Word - the blogger editor will spell check, but it doesn't do it automatically, you have to manually click on the spell check button (it looks like a tick).
ReplyDeletePS I still drive the "big green car", Andrew drives the "small pinkish car" - and that is how I think of them. They get us from point-A to point-B relatively reliably, so beyond that it doesn't really phase me. How un-Kerrison of me! I didn't inherit the car genes!
At least the new car doesn't smell like pickled onions.
ReplyDeleteI was taking a hot tray out of the oven today and I thought of you and your "asbestos underpants"
Really looking forward to you coming to visit me:)
Why, couldn't you find yours to use? Yes, me too.
ReplyDeleteAsbestos undies ? What am I missing here? :S
ReplyDeleteFor some reason while we were camping and playing with food and fire our pot mitt was christened "the asbestos undies".
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, the original comment was made by the human torch in the fantastic four when he was asked what it took to date him, Em just borrowed it as a comment on me when I was playing with the campfire.
