Mistral

I knew I'd forgotten something. The Mistral is back on the road!!!! That you know. Trouble was on Saturday when I took Alice to the doctors it wouldn't start when we came out the chemist. Luckily Eric and Richard were in town watching the netball so a jump start was on hand. No idea why, I'm parking with the bonnet accessible but it has been OK since. Driving it is a dream though compared to Erics truck the Safari. Eric said to enjoy it before the bill comes in!! We also needed to pay for diesel miles, registration and diesel. When we arrived in NZ diesel was 45c/l, it's now 93c/l!!!!! I couldn't believe the price of filling up after just 16 weeks. The microwave of 18 years has also died. You know those phases in your life when money seems to heamorrhage out? Well it feels like we're in one at the moment. All things pas though - don't they?!
