Momentous Occasion

My little Honda hit the 100,000 mile mark this morning.

I’ve had it since 23,000, and it’s still going strong. Even the original clutch is still working…just. It’s my first car, and has carried me all over the country in its time.

It’ll be a pity when I get rid of the old thing. Probably in a year or two’s time, I’ll go for a newer model with snazzy things like electric windows and central locking that works on all four doors.

It just won’t be as good though :-(

Wednesday evening featured the customary hockey session in the park. It was absolutely bakingly hot, so the game was somewhat lethargic. Fun, though.

Had to swap ends after a while so that people tanned (or rather, burned) evenly.

Pub discussion featured a number of interesting questions. One of which was “What proportion of your (ex-) girlfriends’ best mates have you fancied?” I think most blokes would be lying if they answered “none”. Going on from that is the question of whether you’d fancy them less if they weren’t best mates with your girlfriend.
