Car-tastrophes


Thank God I live within biking distance of work, and thank God it’s nice weather, because the RoryMobile is at the car doctor for a few days. Apparently the problem is complicated, and apparently it’s my fault it happened as the problem could have been picked up during a service if I’d bothered to get one. I foolishly thought not using a car very often might mean it would last longer before it needed looking at, but what do I know? I tried to save a few quid and now it’s going to cost me. Will I learn from this and change my future ways vis-a-vis motoring maintenance?  That’s about as likely as me learning fluent Mandarin by Friday, or becoming enthusiastic about parenthood. 
It must be the week for car things too - one of my more reliable members of staff suffered something called a broken cambelt on Tuesday. Again, I know not what or where a cambelt is, but apparently it was severe enough to make him four hours late for work. I told him he shouldn’t have bothered coming in at all, but that’s me showing my usual lack of professionalism.
Is a cambelt part of the seatbelt mechanism? That would be my best guess.
