What did you do today?

Went to bed at about 1.45am, dossed on the sofa in readiness for the alarm going off at 4.30am for the GP. Watched the GP (thrilling), then went back to bed for a while, got up at 3pm feeling rough as a badger's arse with manflu, set fire to the kitchen making a full english (fried bread got a bit carried away) and am now sitting in my Lay-Z-Boy feeling sorry for myself 

Set off in the Maser for a shopping trip to Manchester. M62... 70mph....Engine rev's dipped.. hmmm... Engine rev's dipped again... Hmmm. Battery Light on... Volts down to 10... Powersteering failed.... Argh... Wrestled with the fat tyres onto the showcase slip road. Alternator belt had come off due to wobbly cog /pulley on bottom of engine (seems it lost a few allen bolts whilst wiggling away!). Too risky refit fan belt to drive with one allen bolt in the pulley (prob shear off) so RAC jobby with full lift truck. Got a lift all the way home to Garforth (with my embarrasing immobile Maserati on display on the back), jumped in the Vauxhall Corsa and set off again!
Luckily, It would seem I wasn't spotted so no one will ever know... erm... oops.
Not the best of days... but I can laugh at it
