the World Cup, the dentist and the car
Did you enjoy the England-Sweden footie match this
evening? Neither Mrs C or I usually watch the World
Cup, but this time we're watching a lot more -
there's some really fabulous football.
I've been recommended to watch Argentina in action,
and I'm already impressed with Holland's performance,
so I'll certainly be watching their match tomorrow.
I visited my dentist this morning and had a couple
of fillings renewed ... came out with a very numb
lower jaw and lower lip, which felt like a lump of
rubbery jelly... not part of me at all. The weather
was very nice so I had a good walk there and back
(one and a half hours).
Our car is playing up at the moment ... a car
electrican came round to have a look at the faulty
ignition and jammed door lock (on the driver's side).
He did several tests with various ammeters &
voltmeters and diagnosed a faulty starter motor,
which will need replacing. He treated the door lock
with some WD40 spray, by sticking the key slightly
into the lock, and then giving it a good squirt of WD40
... why didn't I think of that??? It took him 10 days
to come out to see the car, (as he's in such demand),
and he charged £35.25 for about 10 minutes' work...
not a bad rate of pay, eh?
Do we really need this car ... full service, MOT, new
starter motor and £175 in Road Tax coming up before
the end of this month? I recently paid £93 for a new
super-dooper wing mirror and a handbrake adjustment.
If we ever sell the old banger, I may advertise it as;
"Nearly new wing mirror, with car. Offers please."

I've got a $10 bet with the bloke who makes the best Pizzas in Alice Springs that Australia will beat Brazil.
He, of course is an Italian.
By the way, I drive a LandRover Defender. It sounds very much like your car. It's the only car I've ever had where the parking lights bulbs have managed to melt the red plastic covers. When I ask mechanics why things like that happen to my Landy - they simply say "English". And then I wonder who really built Spitfires and the Rolls Royce engines which seem to power every Boeing Aircraft in the world!
Greg & Alison: thanks for dropping in. I run an L registered Peugeot 306 diesel, that's done 140k miles so far - fairly economical to run, and one of the better cars we've owned. We've had a couple of old Land Rovers in the past, which were handy when the girls were younger, and when we were living with another family (10 of us in one house with 1-2 dogs, a cat and other pets).

Another important aspect to consider is whether your family dentist accepts your insurance. If you and/or your family have any insurance, it is important to ask if your family dentist accepts your insurance policy. You do not want to be stuck paying dentist fees out of pocket because your family dentist does not accept your insurance. If you do not have insurance coverage, it is important to check with your employer and see if they cover the cost of services you may need. Many dental offices also offer payment plans, allowing patients to pay a small amount up front so that any dental work can be paid for in a timely manner.
