Hissing tyres and Listing films, etc

 

The Marvellous Mazda - 'The New Beast' as I believe we christened it back in the Spring -

picked up a slow puncture today, which I can't complain about too much as it's the first problem I've had with it since we bought it months ago, and it's not really a problem with the car itself, it's a problem with the state of the roads in Suffolk.
Anyway... I digress... I decided to fight against my usual apathy/procrastinationism/despair and get it sorted straight away, so I popped into a tyre place on my lunch break and they very kindly got it sorted while I was waiting.

And while I was waiting, I decided to write a couple of 'Lists' (as I have been quite neglectful of them in recent times).

So...

 

OSCAR WINNING FILMS OF THE 70S RANKED IN ORDER OF MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE (TODAY):

 1 - The Sting

 2 - The Godfather

 3 - Annie Hall

 4 - The Godfather, Part 2

 5 - One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest

 6 - Rocky

 7 - The Deer Hunter

 8 - The French Connection

 9 - Kramer vs Kramer

10 - Patton

 

THINGS I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS WINTER:

 1 - The fact that we won't have Winter weather until March, as our seasons are totally f**ked, so it should be nice for the next few months.

 2 - Rian's first Christmas!

 3 - Mathew's birthday. He gets more understanding of what they mean every year, and therefore more excited.

 4 - Work being quieter.

 5 - Bonfire Night!

 6 - The Winter holiday (probably in February) that I am damn well going to insist we have early in 2024.

 

FOODS AND DRINKS THAT I WAS REALLY CRAVING WHILE WAITING 20 MINUTES FOR MY CAR:

 1 - A large grilled mushroom with blue cheese melted on it.

 2 - Tizer.

 3 - A full Sunday roast, preferably with gammon and cauliflower cheese.

 4 - Malibu and pineapple.

 5 - A Bounty ice cream.
