LS 5 4 5 Car breaks down Thursday

I didn't sleep too well, with the power off from eight to midnight, and again from four to six ... I woke up at eleven and remembered that I had brewed a fresh pot of coffee for the morning ... and forgotten about it. So, I got up, poured it into the flask ... I wasn't sure whether I had switched it off or not, so, to be on the safe side, I unplugged it.

That kept me awake until power came on at midnight. Ceiling fan going ... I finally managed to fall asleep again.

I didn't see any of the very young kittens last night - I'm hoping they're hiding in the Wendy. I did see the older ones, the black and white one I saw first, and the brown tabby. With the landlord busy with those big yellow machines in the field, where the cats always seem to run to ... I'm stressing.

I didn't wake up too early this morning, struggled to get up, had coffee, off to work ...

On the way, the car overheated! Fortunately I noticed the needle going up ... up ... up ... pulled over and turned off the engine. If I hadn't been paying attention, the engine could have cease and that's MAJOR COST! You're better off scrapping and buying a new engine, usually. Anyway, that didn't happen. Called the boss ... he came and towed the car to work.

I was really, REALLY glad he had brought someone with a drivers license along, who could sit in the towed car! Being towed is an absolute nightmare for me! You're on edge the whole time. I absolutely hate it.

Again, I didn't have to. Phew! They've identified that it was the thermostat, so he'll get a new one and replace it. Hopefully I can drive home with my car tonight. I'll have to get my groceries tomorrow. No problem.

Oh ... just past four, boss' mum is here, apparently she's taking me home tonight. Sound a bit like Rose driving for her daughters business? Ha ha, yeah!

Well, I'd better publish ...
