Thanks Gary & Rob. Booked into Nuffield for tomorrow and the RAC will take me there. I just hope that the distance I travelled wasn't enough to do serious and expensive damage. But that's nothing compared to how angry I am with myself.

Brian: Tesco to home then as far as Lidl behind you then a quick turnaround as the "penny dropped" cos it was misfiring a bit. Thanks all for the helpful suggestions. Just phoned Nuffield and went to answerphone. I'll try again after 9 in case they're in. My car is 7 years old but it's only done 30,000 miles so I'd better pay the money with the least risk to Engine & Injectors I suppose. IAM a knmxfgnvhbdbvhjhdfjh!!!!!*&^%$£^%^%$£$%$%

Thanks Ian. Something to bear in mind.

Don't know what happens with the insurance. I'm on protected no claims but that's never as good as it sounds.

And I think it tastes bloody awful too.

Jackie says it's worth a call to the insurance to see if I'm covered. Always worth a try I suppose.

Plus the wasted tank of fuel. Plus the embarrassment. Saw a sign once: " Of all the things I've lost . . . . . . . I miss my Marbles most of all " I guess it's my age ! 🤪

RAC will tow me 10 miles so it's doable. I could do it myself but would need lots of containers and make a mess in the drive.

Well I did it! Plonker ! 🤪 Over half a tank of unleaded in a Diesel. Anyone know someone who will come to my house & drain it all without ripping me off ?

I'd call it 20 lbs if I was on my 3rd pint !

Thanks all for the Birthday wishes. Been working today and NO BEER. Did have a takeaway curry & cake though. Steve & family came over for tea yesterday brandishing beer and a cake that his eldest had made. Not gone short of beer over the past few days so won't hurt to have a day off ! Jackie's gone overboard on the pressies so I'm a very happy old codger.

Plenty of nets out there Rob. I hope you find a spot that's not been cleared out by nets. Martin: Thanks it was a real treat!

Strange weather when we went Plaice fishing on Madness. Quite a few squalls about but none of them hit us.

Was minding my own business on Saturday, Busy painting Hall, Stairs, Landing, Lounge. The aim was work til 1:00 ish then same thing on Sunday. Had a text from Martin to see if I was up for a trip? ( silly question) ! So we carried on all day with decorating. We were both as stiff as planks by tea time. Up early Sunday and left in time for the 08:30 bridge. Headed out on a fresh but beautiful morning. Went over just past the piers to try for a few. Martin was soon into a fish and our expectations were raised! A small Gurnard brought onboard. T

Been sticking all the capping slates down today. Just got home @ 7:30. Beer O'Clock now then. 🤪
