prepare for relaunch

bought myself some new running shoes this morning
they're the exact model i bought 14 months ago
but in a different colour
i sure do like to live life on the edge

i forgot about my left foot being markedly bigger than the right
it gave me something to talk about with the cute running shoe boy @ smiths
myresa said "why didn't you ask him out?" via a text message on the cellular mobile telephone
because he was about 25, that's why
and also because i think i would die before asking someone out face-to-face


prepare for relaunch of atonement anytime soon

not sure exactly when

but for now we'll stick with soup, yoghurt, fruit and sugar free v

too legit to quit

i spent a good amount of time cleaning out the mighty corona today

like, 3 hours or so

some of this time was due to dealing with the large pools of water that had collected in the boot underneath the spare tyre and the tool well.  blech

and i took it to this cool warrant place on hillside road, where you just drive in and they do it while you read john irving novels in the waiting room

the man came up to me and said, "now, just a couple of things"

which i knew would happen.  one of the things was the chip in my windscreen.  i'd had it fixed by novus and i was a bit dubious about it, because it still looked pretty chippy and pretty star shaped to me.  so i made them write a stamped and signed work order saying that they had fixed it to some proper standard.  which is what i showed the man and he ticked it off the list.  hurrah for me!

the other thing was the smashed and mangled passenger side mirror.  now, the ltsa vehicle testing station has been passing this for the last three years, so i never thought it was a problem.  the man said i either had to get it covered or remove it.  i said i'd remove it and then he fetched some tools and did it right there on the spot.  there's a black triangle bit of the side of the door where the mirror used to be, and he said "just get your husband to fold an icecream pottle or something and put it in there and it'll look fine".  and i said "ok, i will".  yes, yes.  i know.

when i went to pay and get the registration (for! a! year! totally mature, bro) sorted out i asked him "where would i get my windscreen washer fixed?  it doesn't squirt anymore even though there's water in it".  he said "i've fixed it already for you" and i was super super happy.  the end
