It's what I did, the car still smells of wet dog but at least you and one passenger can travel relatively hair free. :-)<br /><br />If this one turns out unsuitable, let me know I can come and give you a lift to the local dealerships ...... in my virtually hair free but doggy smelling car!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-17533217534569777372015-10-14T01:45:14.079+00:002015-10-14T01:45:14.079+00:005 years ago I bought a Nissan Cube.

I detest shopping for new vehicles, but like you, live in a place where there's not public transport. <br /><br />I picked up coal from someone who lives about 20 minutes away. They have a wood stove and had the coal left over from when her parents lived in the house and her dad had a coal stove in his workshop. It was so handy for me to drive over in the pickup truck and carry it out of the cellar to dump in the pickup's bed.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-66281938039266804362015-10-13T22:10:17.311+00:002015-10-13T22:10:17.311+00:00I dont think so..the Prof demands clean linesI dont think so..the Prof demands clean linesJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-20965782276631972152015-10-13T21:52:11.911+00:002015-10-13T21:52:11.911+00:00We had a berlingo ( it was red) once upon a time,...We had a berlingo ( it was red) once upon a time, and we gave it to our son for his birthday as he had no car at all.

The first one is to actually write letters to those who are important to me, hoping that when I am gone they bring to them the same nostalgic but loving feeling I experience when I found old letters in some forgotten book or box. The joy of re-reading the ones from my late husband have pushed me more and more not to rely on emails for one thing because they never convey, at least to me, the warmth of holding something someone you love held before it came to you. No power failure could ever take that away from you, because there are always candles to read them by. <br /><br />Allegra<br />A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947308878002639964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-18604552976002847292015-10-13T20:33:51.728+00:002015-10-13T20:33:51.728+00:00V.W.?V.W.?Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-63689537907197215542015-10-13T20:31:47.520+00:002015-10-13T20:31:47.520+00:00A waterproof cover for the front seat when Mr John...A waterproof cover for the front seat when Mr John is in the car might be even more necessary.<br /><br />(By the way, if I may insert a personal note, I have been touched and most surprised that various people who comment here and must have perused my Andrew MacLaren-Scott writing persona blog have made kindly enquiries about me, due to an enigmatic last message here and on my AMS blog. I do expect and hope to remain in reasonable condition for some time yet, thanks, and I am touched that some people I don't know seem to care. My priorities have changed somewhat however for reasons of no consequence to anyone else, but I may still dip in here to make inappropriate and offensive observations from time to time).Andrew R.

I've been on 16 buses in the last 2 days and tomorrow I have to return a mini-oven to Argos - it will be strapped onto a sack trolley and taken on 2 buses to get it back there! Thank goodness for the reasonably cheap weekly bus ticket I treat myself to every 6 weeks or so. It gives me unlimited bus travel within the city, though there are drawbacks.Some of the passengers today were like the walking dead without the urge to feed, and the smell was akin to something decomposing!Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-42802013728447114472015-10-13T20:17:06.418+00:002015-10-13T20:17:06.418+00:00Water?
