laura_seabrook | Keys and Car (Reply)

...and stops my mind from wandering.

The good news is that my keys turned up.

I phoned the bus company and after an initial denial of anything being found, they said that some keys had been handed in. When I described the yellow cord I had attached to it (from a sports whistle, so I can hang them around my neck) it was confirmed that they were mine. Walked to Edgeworth (3km) and picked them up. I was called the "yellow cord lady" which sounds like some sort of serial killer, or a card game or something.

Decided to walk the rest of the way to Stocklands at Glendale (another 3km) and did a little bit of window shopping before I got to my car (I was hunting for a cheap travel clock). Bought a bottle of distilled water and then went to the car. There was nothing wrong with the battery, but the car wouldn't start. I was about to call the NRMA, when I remembered that I'd switched it from LPG to petrol (which it doesn't run on any more) before I'd gone (to help prevent it from being stolen).

Duh!

She ran, so I drove her back home. Stopped at Edgeworth Coles on the way for some food shopping, and put $5 LPG in her, and that was it.

Blowing the Budget

The other thing is that I spent a bit too much over the weekend. Normally when I go down to Wake the Dead, I spend about $20-$25 all told. This time around I spent (over the whole weekend) $40, but I did get drunk. Hmmm.
