I had, or rather my wife had, a Ford Focus Estate, dating from 2007. It's been looked after since we had it, and on the whole has served us well. Until a couple of weeks ago. Then it started overheating. I find it hard to believe that replacing the coolant pump could cost £1,100, but that's what it is. Happily, we had been thinking of replacing it with a smaller petrol car, and our hands have been forced. Dealing with it has absorbed a lot of my time, though. I am not fond of buying cars. Or disposing of old ones. Other than that, I found the beginning of a Dryad story in my oddments file, and I've done a bit of work on that. Still got a collection of unfinished odds and ends.
