So I’m meant to be doing the car, my plan was ‘service the car, fit the new brakelight switch, if I get time carry on with the bathroom’. Unfortunately, I slept like crap – it was too hot (I had the fan on, which probably didn’t help with…) – and my eyes were sore; so sore. I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror, it looks like I’ve not slept for weeks; my eyes are a vivid red – closing them hurts, opening them hurts. I *seriously* need some different meds, and I suspect, eyedrops from the GP.
I’m hoping they’ll refer me to the allergy clinic, because the drugs don’t work anymore… Basically, every time I go they put me on different drugs, and every time they work for a year and then after a year they stop working. I should, if I’d’ve thought about it, have switched to one of my other meds that I’ve got kicking around from previous prescriptions.
Anyhow, so I went to pick up the Viva yesterday; there are artists in this world, and there are also people like Elmyr de Hory; and the chap who welded the Viva – clearly a talented metal worker; the quality of his panels is incredible; it’s beautiful. Unfortunately, like the work of Elmyr de Hory it’s also fake. The patches merely hide the rust, they don’t cure it. Still, it’ll do for a few years, and it stops people falling out of the car ;-)
Hopefully it also means that an MOT pass is not so far away as to be impossible. We hope.
I’m thinking, given how crap I’m feeling, I may get someone else to do the service. I’d been considering it because I don’t actually have a decent Jack or axle stands here; but my eyes are so sore that I think the minimum I have to do (i.e. putting the interior back in) is probably not an unreasonable thing to do.
