A week that was...

Full on week this week. I've come to some conclusions that I MUST abide by in order to stay alive and not risk killing myself in some freak accident.
The first one is:

I shall never touch the car again other than put petrol in it and put the key in and turn it on.

This is because I decided to fill my car with oil and couldn't get the cap open so I took the dipstick out and careful filled up the dipstick holder with oil as I thought the two were joined and the oil would go into the bigger part where the oil is meant to go. I then got the lid off the oil part thingy and poured the rest of the 4 litres in. So, as you might have guessed I had oil coming out of the dip stick holder and the main oil container thingy. So because all men are stupid and I couldn't find a decent one to help me, I got a nasal gastric tube and a 2o ml syringe and proceeded to surgically remove the oil from the two parts. I didn't scrub up but did get some funny looks as I was in the staff quarters where Doctors live, maybe for some fun I should have put on a surgical mask just for my own amusement.

Secondly, I thought filling the car up with water would be a simple task. I did it as per the manual and was putting the cap on when opppssss I dropped the cap down into the engine bay and couldn't reach it. I looked everywhere for a torch but all I could find was some Christmas lights, so I plugged the flashing coloured chrissy lights in and carefully fed them through the motor to see where the cap was. At this point Joshua decided to drape himself in Christmas lights and looked quiet pretty. Just then Steve pulled up with a friend, here I was with Josh looking like he was ready for the mardi gras and me decorating the car engine with Christmas lights so I could see. So I did the only thing any normal person would do, I got the lid off the milk container and put that on instead. A week later its still holding.

Then, last but not least, after a long nightshift I decided to go up the shops and get the paper before going to bed, I didn't notice the keep left sign as I turned right and you guessed it, took the keep left sign out- head on. My poor car will never be the same.

So besides from that, things have been pretty good. Check out my other blog 'the life and times of unit 147 for details on whats been happening in the compound.
