The constant calamity of cars

Now my driving journeys aren't accompanied by the soundtrack of a booming, failing exhaust pipe, I can hear other worrying noises that are telling me my vehicle isn't running well. I'm just deciding how many of them I can ignore, how many of them I can convince myself are untroubling, and how many I should probably get looked at. I know the sensible thing would be to drop it off to be checked out while I'm at work, but, y'know, I've already blown two hundred quid on a blown exhaust, and, y'know, 'cost of living crisis' and all that. I'll see how it goes over the next few days. If it's sounding worse by Friday I'll give the moody mechanics a ring and see what they advise. 

In other news, all our sites in Suffolk are officially at full capacity over the entirety of the Easter Holidays. This, despite our prices having to go up this year due to all the boring inflation stuff. I don't see how this ties in with that 'cost of living crisis' that this blogger mentioned in a previous paragraph contained within this posting today, but maybe Britons feel spending money on spending a week in a caravan is more important that wasting it on overpriced heating at home.  I'm not going to complain. It'll be hard work for a couple of weeks, but nothing we haven't coped with before. It really is nice when you've been in a job long enough to feel like you know what's coming, and what to do to deal with it. It's taken me two years but I'm almost feeling comfortable in my career!
