I am going to try however to put into words the utter chaos that is the rest of my life.

CAR

I have purchased a new car.   In November my truck broke down so I hired the smallest car -because that means cheap- to get me around until it was fixed.  In the first weeks I saved almost 500 dollars in petrol which made me decide to get a smaller one.

I’m not really the sort  to have a silver Yaris so Jem started looking for a car that would fit my profile.  The Nissan Micra seemed to fit the bill. Small economical and quirky.  We looked at one’s with a small amount of mileage but in the end decided to buy a brand new model.  They have jazzy colours and I really had a hankering for a pink car so when we saw one on the forecourt of Main North Nissan I was stoked.  We had a good deal, I think they were relieved that someone wanted a pink car, they added blue tooth for no extra cost and  butterflies after I said I’d buy one if it had butterflies on.

Here it is in all it’s glory.

All the photos are of course a little off centre.  I don’t want you to think I haven’t noticed. The pictures were taken by my 9 year old Rex.  It pretty much gives you an initial idea of the off centre way I live my life.

I love this car.  I was supposed to take it for a service at 1000kms.  I was unfortunately at a birth, then there was Christmas and new year.  It is booked in on Monday with almost 4000kms on the clock.  Not bad for 4 weeks.
