Things in the charging department work so much better when this wire - the one with the ring terminal - is properly connected ;) :lol:

I fixed that ahead of a superb bike ride today in warm sunshine.

This afternoon I gave Bluebell her annual oil and filter change and was pleased to see the old oil was still quite golden and translucent.

She's driving magnificently so whilst the weather is fair I'll give her a bit of use and Strawberry can enjoy a well deserved rest.

I have an MoT booked for Polly and on Thursday I'll be giving her a very thorough check/pre-MoT...

Polly has now been fully checked during her mock MoT and is pronounced good for the real thing :D Thanks Mick for your assistance today :D

She's now resting until her appointment with the man wielding the clipboard and Bluebell will assume her duties... I took her out for another shakedown run today and all is good :D

We also did a bit of work toward the fitting of curtains on my carport. More on that in due course ;)

I thought at first that it meant curtains for Polly.

Gosh, I hope not!

Unless she massively fails her MoT next week...

Happy to report Polly's passed :D

Bluebell is going well although she has a squeak. I think it's the tailgate as it was a little loose. I've adjusted the hasp.

Don't worry if I'm a bit intermittent on here for a while - things are occurring...

Seems I've fixed Bluebell's squeak by adjusting her tailgate :)

As it was a lovely sunny afternoon I took her out for a nice little drive... It did me some good. Bluebell is running and driving quite beautifully :-D

That little AX looks stunning.
Husky. :? Thinking outside of the box is better than sitting in a dark one.

This just came to me. Our kids and grandkids loved it, just sent it to eldest granddaughter for first great-granddaughter's appreciation.



Perhaps Autumn will like it too. And the rest on that album.
Great-grandson is a bit young for it yet.

Thank you both :-D I do love her... She's a bit special :)

It occurred to me that now, after all the work I've carried out on her lately, everything on works as it should - a most unusual situation for a Citroen :lol:
