High Maintenance

Maybe it's the time of year, the change in temperatures and hours of daylight and so on, but I seem to have been remarkably busy with practical things. If it's not working on my bike, it's having work done on the car. And on that note, fans of round numbers, symmetry, fresh starts or other themes that having something to do with circles being completed may understand why the car needs work despite being, er, brand new*! Fortunately we hit that point on a deserted country road and not halfway up the motorway, or I wouldn't have been stopping to take photos. * + 18 years It's been suggested that eighteen years is a long time to take to hit 100,000 miles, but there's a reason for that. I have a full set of MOT certificates which show an average of about 4,000 miles a year for the first fifteen years. And you don't need to be Carol Vorderman (or even someone good at sums) to work out how hard I've worked it for the last three of those. Unless there's an evening game or a midweek gig, it barely moves beyond a few miles to the supermarket from monday to friday, so we're pretty familiar with most motorways south of the M62!
