I guess you have to laugh

We have been having some unusual car battery problems. It was quite happy to start if it had been sitting for a good twenty minutes but was a bit tempermental if you had only turned the car off for 5 minutes. Gentle coaxing always talked it into starting though.

However, it has now finally given way and Stephen now finds himself in the carpark at Dominoes, with a dead car battery.

Thank goodness he's got a pizza to munch on!

Must be something in the air - I left the light on in my car and the battery is dead as. I tried to clutch start it but it had about as much guts as an ergonomic dishwasher. Its now at the bottom of the hill!!

I found out when I went to drive to my exam too! But thankfully I could take Mum's 'cause she's away for the weekend. (Plus I was leaving early to study in the uni library so I didn't freak out).

Actually the thought did cross my mind to give you a buzz and see if you could drive me over the St Lucia Mr.Starrenberg, but then I figured it would be easier for both of us if I just took my mum's car. But next time I'll call.

Hehehehehe :)

Ps yeah, I did go to bed, but I couldn't fall asleep

Well, amazingly, an angel called Reece Swanson turned up! With jumper leads! So then we went for a drive to find a new battery to buy, whilst munching on cold pizza. Finally found one at Matilda Everton Park!
