Heading out to lunch today I came across this scene in the car park at work. I have no clue why, how or who.

Travel in Comfort
We drove one hour and Tobias managed to get himself tangled in his harness and the seatbelt, very tangled.
A Truck With Balls…Literally
I thought that testicles for trucks was an American thing but today, while stuck in traffic, I noticed these on the car ahead of me:
Pigalina and the AA.
Well, here’s an exciting way to start my new year of blogging. I am sitting on my bed, looking expectantly out of the window, waiting for the AA to arrive. The Pigalinas are late for work due to a flat battery. While car issues are nothing new I am shoe-horning this post under the “new experiences” heading because I have finally joined the AA. I was a Youth member back when I was 16 (and with my first car I certainly needed to be!) but no amount of keys locked inside or flat batteries since no longer qualifying for the youth discount has been enough to make me fork out for the membership fee. Until now. You see, there is absolutely no way that we can sort this out ourselves without calling on family members and making them late for work too. My car is an automatic and Toyota, in their wisdom, have decided that you cannot take the car out of park unless the car is on. So, my plan when I hopped in this morning and noticed that the door had been slightly open allowing the door light to drain the battery (yes, that old chesnut) was to roll onto the road and worry about jump starting it after work. Except it won’t move and Mr Pigalina’s car is trapped in behind. The buses from our house go once every hour and besides, who has cash for a bus these days? So, I wait to be rescued having spent the last of my birthday money on the AA in order for them to come out and allow us to spend the day at work (fun).
Fun fact – turns out you CAN put the car in neutral with no power. Would have saved myself $195 if I could have read the Japanese writing under the over-ride button.

A Rudolph outfit for your car. Just say no.

Finally got my car back from the panelbeater, a month after the cow incident. I celebrated by driving the long way home.

For just $2 you can have one of these ingenious Elvis catchers. Simply place it in your car window and the, presumed dead, King will reveal himself if he drives past.

Today I only had a picture of the temperature on the way to work for you. That is until Mr Pigalina and I were heading home and two cows were in the road. In the dark. I thank God and my bull-bar (oh how tragically fitting) for saving our lives. Unfortunately one cow is now deceased, one ran off and two unhurt but rather shaken Pigalinas are up and unable to wind down for bed.

Cleaned out my car for the first time in a year. Found some interesting items under the seats.

Spent most of the evening running all over town picking up and dropping off cars – Mr Pigalina bought his dream car.
