In Which VT sorts his car out..

Mostly today VT wanted to get his car sorted. It has been sitting outside the house, we don't have a drive...under two horrible sycamore trees, and at this time of the year they drop all sorts of sticky bits on cars. So it was badly in need of a wash, which he did this morning. He got out there with his buckets and car wash and was a proper little sponge bob. Now he has a nice shiny car..for a while anyway.
Then we went round to vote. We have the referendum for or against AV.Must admit I can't see the advantage of that..I go for simple..and then we had the local elections as well. So two papers today. So that's done.
Then he sorted out his car insurance, which he had a reminder for a bit ago. It had gone up somewhat alarmingly, so he had been looking around. He had seen an article in The Daily Mail about car insurance, which had given reasons why insurance has risen so much, but they gave a website to look at for quotes. The cheapest by far was SAGA..which was about a hundred pounds cheaper than his AA quote. So he was well chuffed with that. I dread to think what some of these footballers must be paying for their car insurance. There was one in our local news the other day being dine for careless driving. Too much money and too fast cars. Saw a report in the paper this morning of a GP who couldn't read the top line of an eye chart, yet was driving a Porsche and had killed a woman. You would think they would know better. Last time I went to my eye clinic, they asked me whether I drove. I laughed and said not for a long time now. They said you'd be surprised at the people they get in there with dreadful eyesight who still drive.
Wouldn't you know it...it's just started raining! typical..why does it always rain when you have just done the windows or had the car washed. Mind you we can do with some rain, everywhere is very dry.Quite a lot of moorland fires around the country at the moment, because everywhere is so dry.
Tonight we are having:

Cheese kievs
Vegetables to use up from the fridge,
Small potatoes sauteed,
Mushroom sauce.
