I can't do too terribly much with cars. I can change tires, headlights, replaced a battery, and brake pads but I don't mess with much else
Yup that's about me too these days. The first flat tyre I had was on a motorway and I insisted that my two male passengers watched and supervised while I changed it. They were being honked and yelled at by other drivers because all they could see was a little lady changing a wheel with two big blokes stood by watching her. They were quite embarrassed about that but I learnt a valuable lesson.

Absolutely. My step father MADE me learn how to do basic things with cars so I would never be stuck.

I have a hundred cookbooks.
But they get little use anymore except for teaching the English names for things to Moroccans.
Peppers weren't something that my Mum ever cooked with so when I bought my own house and tried to be a domestic goddess I thought I would invite some friends around for a meal and picked a recipe which involved peppers. BUT I kept the insides and threw the skins away. It was only when I looked at the picture in the cookery book that I realised my mistake. Another lesson learnt!

A bit like the answer given in a history exam to the question 'Where was the Magna Carta signed?'
Answer 'On the bottom'

Well look at the time - I'd better skedaddle.
I have a snoring pooch for company the next week
and she will want to be up and out early tomorrow.
So goodnight to you both and anyone who enters the CDR later
See you tomorrow.
Take care
