With Stella

So, onward! Click click click. Hmmm that’s not a great response from the starter. Hit it with a hammer everyone says. This starter motor is hardly visible under heat exchanger, never mind offering its hurdies up for a firm chap.
Soon, “Prop” from Tighnabruaich is running over some diagnostics. It’s bad and will need to come off - and he’s up to his gills in work. I’ll strip off all the surrounding pipework if he’ll return and take it off (I don’t have large hex sockets) - we have a deal.
Ach, there are worse places to be stuck. I start Deborah Orr’s Motherwell. Wonderful. And later, a beer while takeaway pizzas are cooked up for us. My appointment with the Forth & Clyde however is clearly in the bin.
