For some very inexplicable reason I feel quite happy today. I have no idea why. Perhaps it is the thought of a 2-week break from work? Perhaps it is the thought of seeing some friends over that period?

Or perhaps it is the car. I know, strange. However, over the next two weeks it is likely that I shall have people to take to places (other than Best Mate) and I thought it might be a good idea if the car was not like some sort of rubbish bin for this. I think V cleaned it once.

Living in a flat, it’s not so easy to clean the car myself and I really don’t like using the ones at the garage (it’s a bit like dentists, doctors, etc. for me), so I needed to get it cleaned by someone else.

Someone recommended a place here, in the town where I work. I went this morning. A rather cute guy, who was the petrol attendant told me that when the guys come in they can do it within about half an hour and it will cost €12.

Really? I asked him three times. He assured me that that was the price and that it included inside and out. I mean, it may not be the best clean but, trust me, after about 2 years, any ‘clean’ will do and, if it’s that cheap, I could do it more often. Say every year :-).

As I was expecting about €40 – €50, perhaps it’s that making me feel happy.

I’m obviously easily pleased.
