Percy Problems

Had a little trouble with the VW Polo today. The not-starting-in-hot-weather thing reared its head again. I could not hear any clicking coming from the engine area when turning the ignition to “start” so deduce that there is a problem with the starter solenoid. Giving it a tap with a screwdriver allows it to start, so i guess the solenoid has gone.

Will have to see how much it is to replace it tomorrow…. Lets see what the difference between a VW dealer, and JayRay is.

Botherers

Hmm, The staple Door-bell-ringer used to be art students. This weekend I have had 2 calls from people offering me watch tower or bible study. I’m polite, but as soon as their purpose is apparent, its a swift not interested, good bye….

Is it the season for them, and why have I had two visits? I thought they were more organised than this, or maybe there are two groups doing the same thing in quick succession.

Thinking of plants growing (my mind kind of was, but it wasn’t actually producing anything or literary merit, its time to tidy up a little from yesterdays gate moving. I had previously, Bush-like announced that the garden was finished, and then yesterday with help from my dad, we moved the back gate to the far end of the passage.

But it was finished, you see moving the gate is just a modification….
