progress

on friday afternoon i got my car back... all fixed for a fraction of the price the authorised dealers would have charged me!

now i'm thinking of keeping the thing!?

the guys who fixed my car informed me that they tightened / replaced some stuff relating to the aircon. the aircon guy told me about a month ago that my evaporator was gone and he'd get back to me regarding that (he never did). so after hearing that there were some nuts and bolts tighten / replaced / fixed regarding that, i went back to the aircon guy and insisted on a regas. he was adamant that it's the evaporator, cause it's leaking in the overflow. er, overflows are supposed to 'leak', did he think i was stupid or something? is it because i am chick that he tried to make me believe that? whatever...

anyways, straight after the regas, we hear a loud hiss... hmmm, could that be the sound of a gas leak? hehehe blocked him good and proper. i spent R1500.00 fixing the aircon in february, and it never seemed right to me that straight after fixing one thing another would conk out. so it's still under guarentee and aircon guy has to fix it! lekker.

the weather was very cool this w/end and i spent most of saturday tending to simon's much neglected garden. a good mow and tons of (borehole) water made a huge difference. now i'm on a mission to try and get everyone to not park their cars on the lawn as much so that it really gets nice and lush.

i was well knackered after that, it felt like i had run a marathon. so i spent the rest of my w/end chilling. i hope the weather is wicked next w/end too.
