Hot Hot Heat (Not the Band)

Wow, it's like I've not been here for ages!

Saturday, the three of us went to Leeds for some shopping etc. When we came off the ring-road near the Yorkshire Post we got stuck in a shortish queue and we could see a bit of smoke/steam. Great, a car had broken down due to overheating (it was pretty warm over the weekend if you hadn't noticed). As we were about to pass it we saw some small flames and started to panic a bit! Thankfully we were past it pretty quick cos about 10 seconds later the whole car was up in flames. Poor buggers, it was a fairly new car too!

After getting sun-burnt a bit in Leeds, we headed back along the M62 to get home. Stupid idea. I hadn't realised that they knocked it down to one lane for about 100m so of course the tailbacks were horrendous! However, we were lightly entertained by the huge numbers of cars in the hard shoulder that had overheated! In total we counted 21 cars and at least four AA vans!

Yesterday it pissed it down in the afternoon, which was nice. Seriously, it WAS nice, it cooled me down a bit. It was also my first Father's day as a Dad. Mini-MaFt bought me all-sorts of bits, he even wrote his own card (although I think Mrs-MaFt may have helped him as it looked quite a lot like her writing..)

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward to your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
