waitingmanAt the risk of putting the mockers on the whole thing, we have started he paperwork for our 2nd car... a Hyundai ix35, which was the car model we test-drove yesterday at the car dealership that ticked every single box on the 'Why People Don't Like 2nd-Hand Car Salespeople' list. The one L-SP found online after yesterday's experience is not only a few thousand dollars cheaper, but it also has about 50,000 less kilometres on the clock... & I even like the colour...
We did have to travel a fair way to the dealership - about 75 kilometres to the south-western edge of what's known as 'Greater Sydney'... but used to be better known as market garden farms which grew all our greens & vegetables. Now it's mostly industrial areas & housing estates that grow people...
This meant I had to reschedule some afternoon measures & tack them onto tomorrow's list. First one is at 7am(!!!!!). Fortunately, it's only about 20 minutes from home... maybe even less at that time ofnight day

Driving around a lot of Sydney to various homes, businesses & building sites means Long-Suffering Partner doesn't have a car available when she wants to go somewhere, or stuff of her own to do... So she'll drive Laura when she needs to & I will have (hopefully) the as-yet-unnamed, slightly smaller one to use as a mobile office
