TTTT

After a game of tennis that started in the rain and then moved into the bubble(!) M and I went to look at cars. The little Peugeot is on borrowed time - oil leak, dodgy head gasket and there's usually an engine warning light on - and it's time to look for a replacement.

Started off sensibly with minis. And then continued - still sensibly, I must stress - by looking at Audi TTs. I've always wanted to be a hairdresser and I need a turbocharged 4WD four seater. All I need now are two people small enough to fit in the back seats.

I played it canny and left them stewing. We shall see...
