It's amazing how much better I feel when the sun comes out Grin Most of the time I'm a totally miserable, almost suicidal individual, but when the sun comes out, somehow, things seem better..........they're actually not, but seem to be Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Took this picture earlier today - in the sunshine. All of my current 131s out having fun at home Wink

Give a man and camera and there's no stopping him! Roll Eyes Grin

I've just noticed, this is all of my (non-human) money sapping "possessions" in the same picture - Abarth, Racing and House.

Thanks for your thoughts Ja. It's difficult to stay positive all of the time, especially when the kids are asking for things and I keep having to say 'no'. Still, I hope things will get better on the work/income front soon - goodness knows I've been trying to find work fairly locally (within 50 miles), but it's looking more likely that I'll have to start considering work further afield - much further Undecided

Cheer up Si - This is just a temporary blip on the journey of life. Think of your friends, family, talents, your health and your endless ability to make people crack up with laughter...plus your stable of 131s - and then compare your life with someone in..... hmm... Iraq...! Wink

You must take me for a spin in the Abarth one day - I never knew that was the view of the bonnet from inside!

I had my Sport out in the sunshine today as well - Fantastic day for it.

I think some of you may be taking my suicidal tendancies a bit too literally! Grin My dear old Mum always said that if you talk about commiting suicide you'll never do it...I only hope she's correct! Wink

Nita, we too had a lovely time on the wet and rather cold Good Friday and would echo your comments about being with good friends. You and Andy are two lovely people and I hope that we are all friends together for a very long time, if not forever.? Smiley

By the way Nita, the blister on my left heel is still giving me problems. Started to bleed again yesterday Roll Eyes Perhaps I'll just have to throw those boots away.
