    I believe that after a certain age machines take on a life of their own. They evolve and now we've entered the AI era machines have begun to rise up and attempt to escape their enslaving human masters! :)

    My missus often tells me that she has experienced such evolution in our car. But I reckon she just keeps forgetting to put the handbrake on!

    Instead of using a tumble dryer to dry the laundry in the winter we use a dehumidifier, we run it overnight and you would make a saving on your overnight tariff.

    Oh I love the winter! This year it's the Zugspitze arena with over 200km of pistes!

    lol. we've got 3 years…Skynet, Cyberdine and all that. Judgement Day. 2029. Ha ha.

    Well I've been without the car for 2 weeks so far. It's ok. First week I felt a bit like a lost soul but week 2 has been fine. It does mean rethinking how I do things and restructuring my life but I'm rising to the challenge!! I think it helps that I was becoming more and more disenchanted with driving. I always did find it a bit of chore, preferring my husband to be my chauffeur. I only ever drove out of necessity rather than pleasure.

    Unlike my youngest son and my husband who I swear have/had petrol, rather than blood, in their veins.

    It will be my sons 40th birthday in a couple of weeks. His gift from me is one of those "Experience Days". He gets to drive 4 performance cars of his choice. He is super excited. I did the same thing for my husbands 40th, he got to drive F1 cars.

    Boys and their toys. 🤪


    Beautiful day here…..the garden beckons.
