Only two colleagues I informed about the MR. One 'believes' me the other is kind of septic about it. But I truly believe there is such a thing. In old times, people lived by stars and planets and all of that, and when you pay attention, in the time of MR always something happens. We had many accidents on the road also....

It was lovely to celebrate with my Aunt. She has made a miraculous recovery from her ill health. I think maybe Astrid explains why we are having such a week…

It just needs a service and I also have to be sure I have regained my balance. Last time I tried it a little bit of Vertigo caused me problems...

It is from many years ago when cars didn't rely on electronics and they had large grills in the bonnet... I was driving home from work when a small bird flashed past my windscreen and then I hear a loud clunk! I thought 'oh no'! I didn't like the thought of having killed a bird and the thought of having to retrieve it from the grill on the front of my car I liked even less. When I arrived home I checked out the front of my car. Phew, there was no sign of the bird. Then I heard some strange noises from underneath my bonnet. With a bit of trepidation I lifted the bonnet expecting to see an injured bird. I was taken completely by surprise when, as soon as I lifted the bonnet a little bird (it turned out to be a sparrow) flew out into a nearby tree and looked down on me. No that bird was no where near my car and at the speed I was going it wouldn’t have had the same effect (thankfully) ;-)

I took my car into the dealership before work started and picked it up the following day after work finished. If I had taken time off it would have been out of my annual leave allowance.

Have you ever heard of Mercury Retrograde.......... http://www.findyourfate.com/astrology/year2014/2014-mercury-retrograde.html No, it is no Hocus Pocus....... at work we have many machinery and I always check when we are in MR, that is the biggest disaster time. As you know we bought a Skoda too, and it is one of our local garages. I am glad you finished off with a nice day at your Aunt :) Nice car BTW :) After reading your post, I just shook my head……… Have you ever heard of Mercury Retrograde………. http://www.findyourfate.com/astrology/year2014/2014-mercury-retrograde.html
