M.O.T..and Things..

We were about reasonably early for our morning coffee today, because Vin had arranged for his car to go for it's MOT later in the morning. However, the phone went fairly early around nineish, from the garage to say that the man who does the tests has hurt his hand and has gone to hospital. The bloke who is the back up is on holiday, so Vin said he would ring again later. Well i was thinking if the man had hurt his hand badly enough to go to hospital, he wouldn't be going back to work would he, but Vin was ever hopeful.
Funny thing was, that the second he put the phone down from speaking to the garage Jane rang..she was on her way to College to get her timetable, meet the groups etc. She said it was pouring down there, but it always rains in Manchester. She is quite excited about going back, I hope it goes well for her this year.
At lunchtime, after a morning of sorting out his paperwork and bits and pieces..(I did a pile of ironing) he decided to give the garage a ring..No the man wasn't coming back..Could have told him that! So he rang the other garage in Formby that he used to use, but is more awkward to get to..and they could fit him in at 4O'Clock. So that is where he is now.I hope it goes well..he loves his car and really looks after it.

He told me a joke the other night..
A woman came home one evening to find her Mother on the floor and her husband sitting at his desk. She says "What happened?" He replies "I think she's had a heart attack" So she asks.."What are you doing?" He answers..."Writing for an ambulance!" Well he told me this as I was going to sleep, really made me laugh. I like silly jokes like that.
Tonight we are having:
Not altogether sure actually.
Maybe some little sliced potatoes done in the fry light,
Something from the freezer to go with,
Vegetables.

Vin has just rung to say that it has passed the MOT and he is on his way home, so that is good news for him.
