Heavens Above!

Another minor miracle today, the 16 year old Honda Jazz passed its MOT!  The third year in a row when no work has been required for a pass.  I really thought we would be facing difficult decision time: spend a lot of money on something that isn't worth a lot of money, or buy a replacement for even more money.  But we have our rusty chariot for another year, our main means of transporting Gus, and our run about for transporting furniture, bikes, fence posts, compost and anything else that is too big, too unwieldy or too mucky to go in the Golf.  What it lacks in style, it makes up for in practicality.

That brightened up another grey and rainy day.  As for the jackdaw looking skywards, he was actually drinking water from the neighbour's blocked gutter.  I like the fact that even when his head is held vertically, he can still keep an eye on me in our doorway below him.
