Scilla Mauve

As opposed to Cilla Black.

I got some funny looks from one of the neighbours first thing this morning when she spotted me lying flat on the path.
The sun on the Scilla at the front door had caught my attention.
I can't make up my mind which composition I like most.

SWMBO and I headed off to get fuel this morning and have a wee drive.
It took us past my sister's house (nobody in) and down to Peebles where I dropped in to the garage to tell them that the 'Hands Free' control on the steering wheel wasn't working.
The car is booked in on Tuesday and they will see what needs done. It was even confirmed that warranty will cover anything without me having to ask.

Big Sis was still out on the way back.

During the afternoon I got out the pressure washer and went to wash the car.
And found the hose connection was leaking.
I cleaned the spring loaded connections ... still leaking
I dug out a bag of various connectors and adaptors and tried several of them.
It still leaked (in a fairly major way).
The problem was obviously the built in connector on the hose drum.
I kicked it to death!
Then I by-passed the drum and connected the hose directly to the tap and the pressure washer and got on with what I should have been doing.
I didn't do a great job (the back was screaming by that point) and SWMBO had the cheek to complain that I had 'Missed A Bit' 
She should consider herself lucky to still be breathing!
