Recent cars has too bright head lights. Especially LED ones and adaptive ones on Merc. When on coming Merc bounces on a gap. Aaaa.
Cheap cars with after market LED bulbs made in China with wrong lens which illuminate my face not on the road.
Clip on sunglasses are not enough to stop being dazzled these days. I don't like driving at night now.

Not gonna lie, love the fully adaptive LEDs on my Mazda 3. They are superb. LED's on the incoming new bike too,
interested to see how they stack up against the car.

This news depresses me. Toyota dealer let 11yo girl with no skill drive an race kart(max 40-50km/h), she hit 2yo boy who was watching. He didn't come back. There was no barriers except corns on the ground.
I feel sorry for both 2yo boy and 11yo girl.

Wrapped a mooring rope around the propeller of my new boat .
Now it’s got to come out of the water to have the rope removed! ££££ .

Got the 'Rona for the first time ever.
Feel a bit ropey, mostly just aching like a motherfucker with a little bit of a throaty dysfunction.
But mostly my gears are ground cos I probably gave it to the Senior Consort. Hopefully he is sturdy enough to survive it.

Either get one that's naturally buoyant or add a float to the wrist strap. You'll thank me later Unless you're planning a lot of underwater excursions ofc

Reminds me of the guy who threw himself into the Thames to avoid arrest: "must be a foreigner... I mean, the Thames?!"

Why the FUCK does insuring vehicles have to be such a frigging pantomime? Currently insuring my Mazda 3
with Esure. Renewal email arrives, last year fully comp with all the bells and whistles was £252. Renewal quote came in at
£472. How on earth do they sleep at night? Anyway, did the compare thing and found equivalent cover with AXA for £258
so bought that YAY! Quite a way down the list was Esure showing £383, still £90 cheaper than their quote to me. I'm just
off to call Esure next to invite them to post their quote right up their letterbox.

In complete contrast, literally just now my bike cover (bike and scoot) renewal arrived. I was honestly expecting a hefty
jump and a big faff changing elsewhere since that happened this year with both my car and van insurance but they came
in cheaper than last years price by 6%. From £259 to £242 with all the little surcharges and whatnot so I'll be renewing that,
although I'm selling the scoot as spares or repair soon so it should come down a little more after removing that from the policy.
I'll have to do a change quite early on in the policy as the incoming MT10 has been delayed. Gaaaaaaah!

Queen Lilly on TikTok passed away today. Much sadness, 24 year old cat. She was top viewing, I hope my little cat Meg lives that long.
