Three Wheels on my Wagon . . .

As I walked towards my car in the supermarket car-park, one of the front tyres didn't look quite right, so instead of going on to B&Q I made my way back home. Sure enough, when GM took the wheel off he found:

 

He took the wheel round to our local "car fixers" who very kindly plugged it. I was surprised that we no longer have a spare wheel, instead we have what's called a "get-you-home" wheel, so while the wheel was away being fixed, poor Natalya (yes, we name our cars) sat on the driveway with a jack holding her up.

I mentioned I was on my way to B&Q, as I thought we needed a new wire brush. I've been cleaning up the moss between the brickwork in the yarden, and the wire brush is, let's just say, less than efficient at the job. When I mentioned it to GM he said we had a brand new one in the garage, and he was not wrong.


 


And finally, for now, I took this photo. See if you can work out what it is.

I am standing in front of the kitchen sink, looking out through the window to my car, which has a reflection of the sky on her bonnet.

I remember being surprised when tyres no longer had inner tubes, my husband said that that had stopped years ago.... Who knew?? Well certainly not me 😀

I think we have a spare tyre, but I wouldn't like to guarantee it. Finding a good tyre place is like finding rubies. I always take sweeties to our garage.
That reflection in the window is so beautiful.
