An Age of Magic

The most annoying sound…

Sorry, but the most annoying sound of all to me comes from way back in the 1980’s when many cars owned by young males all had turbo engines.

They were loud, drank a lot of fuel and required a lot of revving first thing in the morning…especially a COLD morning. Our neighbour had such an engine in his car. He left for work at 6.30am each day and for about 20 minutes prior to leaving the garage he had to run his engine so as to ‘warm it up’. So, for four years, we woke up - whether we wanted to or not - at 6.35am five days a week.

Thank god people are more sensible nowadays.

This is the time of year…

When many people are planning their annual summer holiday. Now, you might think this advice shoud go without saying…but…I really need to remind people about it.

Things happen; accidents happen; people have accidents; kids get sick; luggage gets lost; flights get cancelled; airlines double book…so do hotels sometimes.

Hope I haven’t reminded you too much of the down side of travelling…? have no cares…just remember the travel insurance and you’ll be okay.
