Armadillos?
Yep, it's a carapace scute from Glyptodon clavipes. from only 800,000 years ago, though man didn't finish them off until 5 to 10,000 years ago.
Giant ground armadillos that lived with the giant ground sloths and other megafauna.

About the same size and weight as a small car.
Some species had spikes or clubs on the tail, others, like my one, just had armoured pointed tails.

Oh, yeah, of course it's Friday!!!!!
Happy hols, Lyn, hope you have fun and it isn't too hectic.
Don't forget the cheese.

I just feel too tired to bother this year!
Would love to sleep for the next fortnight!
Must pull myself together and get it all done though.
Next priority a sister's family - they are going away on Tues.
Must get my thinking cap on!!

I would find both really difficult
I couldn't deal with your job, John, my body would let me down, now and i hate cars!
Lyn's job tends to involve a naughty child or two and I couldn't even cope with the good ones.
Hard is subjective.
Retirement is a lot harder than I thought it would be.


guess I'm lucky in being satisfied coming home knackered, couldn't do office work. when ma wrist gives in (5yrs at best I think) I think I'll deliver the post :)

A good night's sleep and a nice lie-in might restore your vitality somewhat.
Just relax and let the stress drain away and you'll soon be a new woman.;)

The last time a monkey was let loose on my car it was at Longleat Safari Park and the car was covered in monkey poop and I was minus the blade of wiper when it left, so your job is far from monkey work. All essential, John and lots of satisfied customers.
Mine is hard on times but I do have lots of fun too. I couldn't do your job either - my car only gets a good clean before an MOT - because it could fail if the carpets aren't clean;)

i can only deal with kids in small doses, unless its at functions... I'm the guy with the tie round the head playing tig tag

Ahh , yes, of course you've got the tie.
Can't speak to children, though kids as in goats babies are fine.
Teenagers, usually not either!
if only they were all like Spud's Mum.
