Well, that's an expensive day. And a tiring one. For the followers of the hairy black fella, he's just had his yearly MOT and booster jabs, and he's still in perfect health. The lady vet swooned all over him as usual, while he struggled with whether to protest or tart furiously, deciding on a halfway strategy. He's weight is bang on the money at 4.2kg, everything's in perfect working order, his teeth are fine (should think so, he sharpens them on me regularly) and his recent battle damage is healing up better than expectations. Huzzah! Glad one thing in this house works properly.

Slightly more expensive was GLC, back from it's own MOT and service. Ouch. Major non kudos to the purveyor of catalytic converters in town who sold me a duffer a couple of months back. GLC is now running properly for the first time in ages, but the bill was heavy.

Mind you, it's nice to have independent transport again; been reliant on buses, taxies and lifts for the last few days and I do not like it. Not that I have the energy to care at the moment. Managed to get almost precisely no sleep at all last night due to this heat that won't go away, then an early shift with project work that must be completed, but wasn't anyway, gah !! The fun factory is running low on people's commitment at the moment, at least among the folks that hang around me. Early shifts plus no sleep, not a happy camper maketh. And to make matters worse, nobody's coming out to play tonight. Bah.
