			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, yesterday I decided I&#8217;d get my car out of it&#8217;s garage for two reasons, the first being to see if it still actually started, lol, and the second was to go out for a drive! It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve gone out in the car simply for the pleasure of driving it, not actually going anywhere specific. Well, the car did start, hurrah! So, I went for a drive on the loop that I usually go on when I&#8217;m just going for a drive, which is from Sancoins to Mornay on the main road, then from Mornay to Apremont on the country roads, then from Apremont to Grossouvre through the forest, and then from Grossouvre back to Sancoins on the normal road. It really is quite a nice loop to drive around &#8230;</p>

As you can see below, I stopped on the way for a moment, and took a few quick photos of the car, lol. This was just after the forest by Apremont. Apremont is a fairly beautiful little town, it&#8217;s actually rated amongst the top ones in France. If any of you have ever been there, and who play games a bit, you&#8217;ll know what I mean when I say it&#8217;s like a Medal of Honor town, haha!</p>

Also concerning my car, I finally got around to booking it in at the local garage to get some work done to it. Quite a few things need doing to it, checking the starting and cooling systems, fitting the new breaks, a general service and a couple of other odds and ends. Once all that&#8217;s done, the car should be in quite good shape, at last. So I&#8217;ve got to take the car down to the garage on Tuesday morning, and they&#8217;ll be keeping it for a couple of days while they get all the work done &#8230;</p>

I&#8217;m a big guy, as most of you know, lol, so it&#8217;s quite hard to find stuff that fits me properly, but after a bit of searching we did find some things, both that I liked and that fit me, lol. Check out the photo above, big arse size, mouhahaha! lol! I ended up getting two pairs of jeans, a couple of long sleeve t-shirts to wear under other t-shirts, a few other bits and bobs, and a new pair of shoes as well. The shoes are quite similar to my old ones, but they&#8217;ve got a red design on them instead of blue, and they&#8217;re not falling apart like the old ones, lol. It&#8217;s funny how the same size in different makes of shoes can so different, like a Nike 47 seems much smaller than an Oasics 47, so I ended up getting the Oasics, as they were the biggest I could find, that wern&#8217;t totally awfull, lol &#8230;</p>

We went in the Sierra to Nevers for shopping. As some of you know, I&#8217;ve been having trouble with the Sierra not starting, randomly. You turn the key, the lights on the dash come on, you can hear the fuel pump come on, but nothing starts. It&#8217;s not the battery, as it will at random start perfectly well again after a few tries. The cables looks fine, so my guess is that the solenoid or something like that is crapping out. I&#8217;ll get it looked at sometime, I can&#8217;t be arsed myself, lol. So we went shopping, the car started fine, in fact it started prefectly for the next 4 or 5 stops we made in Nevers as well, but sods law, just as we were going to head home, it started playing up, the bastard! Cutting a long story short, it did start eventually, after a little twiddeling and about 15 tries to start it, lol. Lucky really, don&#8217;t want to be stuck in Nevers all night, I want my dinner, lol!</p>

So I leave you with a random photo of my very self, that&#8217;s me sitting at my desk with my computer in my room, nothing special really, lol. *sigh* &#8230; Righty, back to work in a minute &#8230;</p>
