10th March 2026
Today my eldest son Damian was coming to visit, he was kindly leading me one of his cars so I can get about a bit without the hassle of renting a vehicle.
It was great to see him again, he has a busy life, and we don’t connect as often as I would like, and I’m not good with phone calls or video, which is really what we should do to communicate better.
So those few hours we spent were wonderful.
The car he lent me was a first generation Mazda MX 5 in perfect condition. He had been looking for one for ages, and probably paid a lot for it, with only thirty-five thousand miles on the clock, it is a gem.
During the evening, I started to read up, and watch videos on how to replace the heating element on my dishwasher. This was going to be tomorrow’s main task. I searched through the literature trying to find any user information on the machine, the only thing I found was the template for attaching the front panel. At least it was something.
I had a message from Derek to say that he had cracked the code, and managed to retrieve the licenses, a victory, and great relief.
