New life.

Just as we were about to head out on an early morning jaunt, the car wouldn't start. First time I've had any trouble with this motor. Sounded & felt like the starter motor. Got the man out, fortunately it was 'only' the battery ! Can't remember the last time that I had a battery go, was really sudden too. Apparently it was the original battery put into the car 7 years ago, so mustn't grumble really, yes I really mustn't grumble. Got a new one, just hate it when you have to repair or replace something, to get it back to how it was, and only have a hole in your bank balance to really show for it ! Anyways, eventually headed out. Heavy traffic on the way home which did not lighten the mood any. The take away Chinese meal we had when we got home, did, however.
