So... first event was my car breaking down last Monday on the way to work which I have previously alluded to. After having the clutch replace on it (at the princely sum of £160) I got the car back on Wednesday evening after the groups halloween party. Driving round after work on thursday though and my car broke again... called garage man who told me it was the gear linkages that he'd warned me about. So another call to the RAC and the man comes out to fix it... but it needs replacing soon as (he mended it with a cable tie!)
After that we had the Music department trip to the NEC in Birmingham for the day on Friday which was pretty good... lot's of freebies and a signed poster from Jim Marshall (the creator of Marshall amps). Was a late one back though so as soon as I got back it was tramming over to Woolley Edge for the weekend. Get's there and ended up coming back for some shopping and picking up Matthew. The useual evening antics got even sillier when spin the bottle started with truth or dare.. rather funny and revealing! Prior to us joining in the explorers had been playing and Matthew had to kiss Crocket and Jamie! Lol!
Saturday saw me tramming around again picking up various bits and pieces like new axes for the the site and some petrol for the generator. Oh.. and finding that solid core twin and earth doesn't like been wired into a 13amp plug! It's bloody hard work! Why were we doing it? Well the nice long length of artic cable that had beenlaid to the wardens cabin had had it's end snipped off... grr! The only cable we had was twin and earth! Ah well...
The bonfire in the evening was pretty good.. the fireworks not quite as good but i did manage a number of pretty cool photo's! We had a pretty early night Saturday night as we were all knackered! I was asleep by half 1! Which as those who know me through scouting events will know is just not me!
Monday I had planned on getting in from work and picking up the new bit for my car so I could replace it... got home to pick wallet up and ring round to find the part and set off.. only for the part in question to break! bugger! Off I trot then on the bus to huddersfield to buy new part. Get back home to find I couldn't get the old one off... limped up to parents using a combination of 3rd and 4th gear(the only ones I could engage) which wasn't fun.. those who know where I live and where my parents live will know it's all uphill! Nearly didn't make it up School Lane!
As usual, with all the right tools the job was pretty straight forward!
What happened yesterday then? They started to fit a new kitchen for me!
Oh.. and I went to the cinema with matt... more on that later!
