It's hot and sunny today, sun blazing, and so I slept in- or, more precisely, stayed in bed to read the entirety of John Scalzi's Agent to the Stars, a fantastic piece of SF.

Once that was out of the way I went to the old place to continue work on the spare car. But an hour into it it struck me: I wasnt enjoying it. Working on cars is fun when you have a workshop, but when its outside it's just a chore. Sweat kept dripping into my eyes, dirt and rust flakes stuck to the sweat, nowhere to wash the grease and gunk off my arms, and the huge issue of how to remove the engine and where to store it remains.

So I give up. I'm calling the car removers monday, they can take whatever is left and I'll gradually dispose of the rest.

Besides, I dont plan on owning this car forever- maybe another 12 months at the outside. I fully intend to be elsewhere by then...
