there's something about.....

                 Bert (again) you still thought I was going to say Mary didn't you, you really must keep up

I have never compiled as trilogy of posts, over 3 (obviously, it’s a trilogy) consecutive days, all with the same theme, well I hadn’t until now.

I hereby declare the final chapter (ok a bit of a poor description) of posts commencing and very shortly finishing, I may well not post again for eons (not the power supply company)...(I certainly won’t be posting for them) equally I may post again tomorrow, we just can’t tell at this stage.

Like yesterdays post, today’s starts with a pic of the person in question, Bert (I told you yesterday they sometimes have male names) he is the other (older) part of the swap that this “trilogy of posts has been about.

What can I say about Bert, well today not much, grrrrrrrr, he has been naughty today, its ok, he hasn’t really, it’s not his fault, he is old.

When I picked him up last week he drove back from his previous home faultlessly (nearly 300 miles) as he has done since then, going to work on the odd occasion, pootling (yes it is a word in my world) around and generally making his presence now, until today.

I was planning to post about him today anyway, I had to, he is the final part of the trilogy, I just didn’t think I would be dissing him innit, not that I am, as I said it’s not his fault he old, today he planned to have a new set of wheels fitted (next weekend is a new exhaust and some other work done, alas today the wheels didn’t get fitted, he had poorly brakes and it was all I could do to get him (and me)....(and my daughter) home safely.

After getting all dirty and finding out what was wrong it transpired to be nothing big (aside from having very limited brakes which is of course quite a big thing) what I mean is it is nothing big to fix, if you have the bit you need, not always the case on a Sunday, so he will sit on the drive until next weekend when I can begin his transformation in earnest (on the subject of Ernest, he was another car, I think, he was something vehicular anyway)

So that is the story of Linda, Bert and the swap shop that bought them together though ultimately separated them, they spent a brief time together in North Wales though, it was a touching moment, it’s ok, I’m going now but there will be more about Bert, possibly much more, after all I need to paint him in a better light, have done him no favours with this post, thankfully he doesn’t have internet access so I can hopefully post a more positive (not that it’s been too negative) post in the near future, before he gets his internet connection sorted out ................
