Safe Return

Photobucket
I've spent my evening up to my elbows in dirt fixing the brakes on my son's car. I also spent a whole Saturday afternoon two weeks ago doing the same.

This has taught me three things;

  • If you're replacing one wheel cylinder do the other one whilst you're at it because two weeks later it'll fail.
  • I'm really not a fan of Peugeot's policy to use many different components on the same year and model of car!
  • Last, I'm too getting too old for this stuff, I used to do it for fun and now can't remember why!!

So this is the last in the series of three I had in mind. It's not the image I was going to use but that one didn't meet my expectations. I wanted to get across a feeling of relief and joy of a loved one returning safely but I'm unsure as to whether I've achieved that aim. I can say though that I liked this image just because and that's a good enough reason for me to post it.

Ever conscience of boring myself and you this will be the last from here for a while and I'll stay away from the textures too. I do feel that they suited these subjects though.

Let me know your thoughts as always.

I was sure I already commented this!
This Twitter is so confusing, I never sure where I wrote my comment :)

Kinda funny imagine you fixing the car, when you post a photo as this, and I can't stop imagining this woman fixing those war-birds of WWI.
Classic!
