Oh yeah, more news. The radiator on the Panda appears to have lost the will to fight. It has been leaking intermittently for a few months now, but it no longer seems willing to hold it's drink. After about 5 minutes the engine goes from 0 degrees to 125 degrees, and seems to be losing pretty much all it's coolant out of a small hole at the bottom of the radiator. It's ok for short hops round the shire-of-ex, but it's not going out of town. Amusingly, the heater doesn't work, even though there's plenty of hot air 'under the hood'. Incidentally, Gavin actually calls the bonnet a hood. I think he thinks gotten is a word too. Kakoi-to koshmar!

I should add Rosie and I are going to the cinema tonight to see Love Actually. We're hoping we'll actually get to see it tonight, and there won't be any power cuts or anything.
