1. Change my dentist appointment next week
2. Reclaim some bank charges
3. Get one of the tyres on my car fixed (and change a wheel for the spare in order to do it)
4. Go see this is it with Kate.
What really happened:
1. I slept really late and had some crazy dreams
2. Changed my dentist appointment
3. Looked up used cars online to gauge prices and make sure it was worth fixing my car
4. Decided it was worth it
5. Started changing my flat tyre/wheel
6. A random man did it for me because I couldn't get a bolt undone and I looked like a damzel in distress. I can change wheels and pretty quickly too.
7. Got a new tyre for one at the wheel place
8. Was recommended a new MOT specialist
9. What I heard was MOT and repair
10. Took it there immediately and found out they only did MOTs
11. Got a little confused and kept it there for an MOT
12. Had to wait in Dalmuir (ie. Nowhere) for 1.5 hours
13. Went to a local park that I used to go to as a kid
14. Picked up leaves, saw swans and squirrels and played on the swing
15. Got an inner core chill
16. Picked up my failed MOT car and found it hard to get advice from the guys
17. The list was significantly less than the first fail because the first fail was done by a rookie
18. Almost cried
19. Tried to find out where I could get the body work fixed
20. Drove home
21. Caught the train
22. Saw This is it (amazing)
23. Cried a little... well I welled up, no tears though. Had I allowed tears then I wouldn't have been able to stop them for ages.
24. Came home
25. Ate dinner while watching How I Met Your Mother (the episode about Lilly and Marshall's wedding)
26. Wished I could get married sooner
27. wondered why on earth I paid £45 for something I already knew.
28. It now takes me about half a week to make £45, before it would take me half a day.
29. I hate myself for spending money unnecessarily. I'm not sure what I was doing, or what I thought I was doing. I am such a freakin' tard.
30. Watched a bit of the green wing while looking up garage services and used cars.
There seems to be no logic in fixing my car, or buying another one. I can't afford it. But the money I put in I will get back in 4/5 months when I leave. (Hopefully 4-5 months.) But I'm still paying £14.50 a week on train fare regardless. What will I really use a car for in the next few months. Getting to church on time, going to the cinema really late at night, driving about for new year and christmas when public transport isn't running, when Jon comes so we don't have to get the train everywhere, for the fake reception wedding in Glasgow when things need to be done and I can't depend on lifts, for delivering items I sell.
So yeah, not a lot that can't be replaced by public transport.
I don't know what to do. I have two weeks to have it fixed and back in for another MOT otherwise it's another £45.
But yeah, the park. I ended up going to the park and I paid £45 to do that. I could visit another country on ryanair for less than that. Why am I an idiot.
On the plus side there's the awesome photos and things I seen today that were free and that I would never have done if I didn't have to stay in Dalmuir for hours.
This is a random video of some swans that were asking over and over again for food. Someone finally came and gave them food. The thing is, bread is bad for swans. True.
There were so many pretty leaves.
I love that nature makes death look so beautiful. It's spectacular. This is the later end of the death of leaves now, so they're all richer darker colours. But I did find an odd green leaf here and there that was fighting and holding on to pigment for dear life. Utterly stunning.
The sun was getting quite low as well so there were many light opportunities too. I didn't have my big camera with me, so this is just my compact. The photos are still pretty awesome though. It must be the touch screen function that does it.
I also played on the swings, and random elephant that had 'wanker' written across it's head. Kind of sad.
The best part though were the squirrels. At first I thought it was rare to see one squirrel but then I came across a dray or scurry (yes, I looked up the collective noun) of the little blighters. I remember being young and my gran telling me how evil grey squirrels are. I kind of like them, they did bully and breed out and murder the red squirrel though who is always painted as an angelic creature in comparison.
The movie at the end shows off my iMovie and garage band 06 skills of putting a movie together. Wooo. It's all about my squirrel friends. They all got scared off by a dog. I big panting butch dog. Just like Up. It made me laugh slightly, as well as be annoyed slightly because dogs drool and squirrels rule.
