Re: Xantia 1.9TD....wake up and back on the road after 10 Years
When I first worked at a company with a clear desk policy I really struggled. I solved the problem by going paperless and having all the clutter on my computer screen. I still have a very messy virtual desktop (actually several that I switch between).

The bigger the screen = the more Post-It notes you can fit on it...

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

My 'desktop' is a lot tidier than it used to be. If you think this is bad, only the other month I had over 2175+ tabs open simultaneously and then accidentally didn't restore them after a crash...
Anyway, back on topic...

Re: Xantia 1.9TD....wake up and back on the road after 10 Years
Some delays ahead ?maybe?.....This morning I had a AA (Aortic Aneurysm) scan, the standard "call in everyone of a particular age" type at the local Medical practice...............WHOOPS, a "concern" on the scan.....and an appointment made for me for a more detailed/check scan at the hospital on Thursday..........RATS !

That's not great news Alasdair, I hope it is nothing serious!

The nurse was more on the side of the scan needing to be double checked that there being a "problem"..that said due to family history it will not stop be cra@@ing myself until Thursday.
If I do need work done it will have a massive effect on what I do here with care for Mum etc as I get ZERO assistance from the state or family.....if I am "out of order" for any time Mum would have to go to a care home for however long it takes....that would have a massive effect on her.......so fingers crossed.

Nightmare! Fingers crossed. Try not to stress unnecessarily. Never had you down as a worrier.

Best of luck, take it easy, but don't stress. Even if there is one, it probably has little chance of rupturing in the near term.

The time to be concerned is if they prescribe you a flush with Hydraurincage and a change of filters !
