WHAT A DAY!

Well...the plan for today, Saturday 13th June 2009 had been simple. I had printed out the times for the cinema and the plan was that I was going to go on a movie marathon, 3 or 4 movies throughout the day. It was that simple.

So I woke up this morning and spoke to our Louise who said that she needed running to the White Rose because Rich had the car and she needed to get out of the house. So I agreed to pick her up, drop her off at the White Rose and then drive over to Wakefield Cineworld to watch just the one film and then come back to pick her up...after all, I could catch another couple in the evening.

So I went across to the cinema and watched Night At The Museum. It was good fun, but not quite as good as the first one. Well worth watching though. After I came out of the cinema, I spoke to our Louise who had Rich pick her up from shopping...bonus...I could watch another film.

I got a ticket and went to see Looking For Eric and absolutely loved it. Its a quality film. Heartwarming, funny and touching all in one.

Then the day took a turn...

...the car has been "squeaking" for a week or so now. I was driving home from the cinema and the clutch just felt wrong. Something wasn't right. I managed to get almost back to Kirsty's where I'm house-sitting. As I was about to turn up Crow's Nest Lane, the clutch gave out completely and the car stalled. I started the car up again, but it wasn't letting me get into gear...oh bugger!

I phoned the RAC and they said that it was going to be 2 hours before someone could get out! Typical.

Our Louise and Rich came over which allowed me to go up to Kirsty's to feed the dog and the fish and the rabbit. We waited for the RAC man to turn up. Eventually he came and basically told me that I need a whole new clutch. Lovely!

I was towed back to Morley and left the car at home before Louise & Rich took me back to theirs for tea. We watched Cloverfield on Sky before Louise brought me home!

Should be a nice expense when I get the car fixed now then! Not good!
