Speak a little louder next time

So I am just not sure how well this story will translate into blog world… but I will try my best, but it may turn out to be one of those had to be there moments, so bare with me and know that I had the best intentions.

Today I had lunch with Dave and Dad in the city, we went to a little resturant, which I think was called noodle world, but I am not sure, anyway Dad picked the restaurant and implied to Dave and I that he had never been there before and that this was all a new experience for him and for us, just saying ‘This will do, just sit down’. The place was quite cool with the tick box/do it yourself menus and it was, at the beginning anyway, a beautiful sunny day.

Anyway as the lunch went on it came out that Dad had been there before so I was having a bit of a go and saying quite loudly “oh this place looks nice, lets go in (and then a little louder) JUST SIT DOWN ALREADY’. Anyway, unbeknown to me just in front of us were two mean looking for a table to sit down and on hearing my exclamation decided that really did need to sit down quickly as they thought I was talking to them…. Needless to say I had put my foot in my mouth and I was very very embarrassed, I did apologise, but the damage was done. Luckily for me they too saw a least some of the humour.

So there you go, better in real life, but not bad in a blog

The Grim Reaper

I am the grim reaper of cars... Seriously, yesterday morning I killed my second car in a month and this one didn't even belong to me.

Luckily, unlike Saabie, it will run again and it's just a bit of old age, but I tell you what I am feeling like every car I touch dies! I am even starting to get a little worried about driving my new car, which ironically arrived at the dealer this yesterday afternoon, because at the rate I am going it will either never make it or some one will hit it as I drive out!

I do perhaps thinks maybe I should get a spot in the next RACV TV ad, I mean who else has had them out 6 times in 6 months?  They probably start to panic every time I tell them who is calling, maybe they even roll their eyes and think what now?

Its seriously getting so bad that even now as the tow truck picks up the pintara, the battery on the truck has died and is getting jump started... it really is getting ridiculous!

I guess have I have just been making the most of my bronze membership to the RACV... and the do say... we're there for you!  

But because its a bit depressing and my new car is pretty much hear... I just want to remind you of the things that my new car has that these last two have been missing at one stage or another...

1. Heating

2. Radio

3. Windows

4. Central Locking

5. probably something else that I can't think of right now.

So rio.... I am super excited about meeting you... very very very very soon. 

Wordless Wednesday - Happy Birthday Dad
