From the words of the Immortal Roosevelt E. Roosevelt, it's damn hot! You have to love british weather. Two days ago, Katy was so cold that I had to turn the heating on. Tonight, my allergies are making me miserable because it's so damn hot and muggy. Joy. It's been a while since I didn't have the energy to move because I've been sneezing a dozen times in a row.
Spent the day in Leicester looking at possible vroom-vrooms for Katy. If she gets the job at Huntington, she'll need a car to commute. There are a few nice Nissan Micras out there that looked mighty tempting but Katy decided to wait until she had a clear confirmation about the job before singing her name to the dotted line. The job situation is rearing its ugly head again. Had a rather rough night because of some of its side-effects; mostly stressful ones. Her current job is making our life difficult in ways that have no easy fix. I know she's given her notice, and she only has 3 weeks left to go at that damned place. I just hope it doesn't break anything that can't be mended.
Going to be a slow day tomorrow hopefully. I need a good night's sleep that doesn't involve bad dreams. Still in Leicester tomorrow cause it's father's day. Going to have lamb for dinner. Had curry tonight. Hmmmm, curry.
Just a word of advice, if the british model of the Nissan Microbe is the same quality as the north-american one, STAY AWAY from it.

um, why? its a very popular car here.

Here it was a really shitty car, with one of the worst transmission ever built in the automotive world. It's been gone for at least 10 years now (didn't last long while it was here), so if you have Nissan Microbes over there, it probably mean that it's an newer model, but if they're older than 10 years, run as fast as you can from them.
Once here the Lada where really popular cars, so popular doesn't mean bopkus.
If you want to know if some cars are worth it on your side of the Atlantic (it kinda feal strange writing that), look at some sites on the web, I would start with this one.

It's not the same model that we used to have here, just the same name.
