The Nephew’s choice of vehicle for today is …

Thoughts on this one?

Unfortunately today’s vehicle has been impounded for driving with dodgy tyres. We have a photo of the police pulling the vehicle.

Here it is …

This was his favourite for a long time. Not because it was cool, not because it went for miles when you shoved it, not because it felt good when pressed against the skin. Nope, none of those! It was down to the colour: his favourite colour was pink since he could talk. Thank goodness we can stop worrying about his future lifestyle, he is now a lover of blue.

Today’s selection …

Any thoughts on what this one may be?

Had to do a bit today! Went into Edinburgh this afternoon to restock on some products for the weekend. On the way back out I stopped off to get my hair cut. Wee Sis used to be a hairdresser before becoming a beauty therapist, before becoming a sales person, before becoming a mother. I need to be very explicit here, it was beauty therapist not beautician. She keeps trying to convince me that there is some big difference in the training but I’m not so sure.

While there I made the fatal mistake of asking The Nephew to pick some cars so we could take their pictures. Three hours later I was still getting cars thrust in my face with the command to take their picture. Inbetween times I was trundling down the path on scooters, kicking balls at the little darlin (and I mean at him) and generally expending life preserving energy. Eventually managed to convince him that the phone battery was dead thereby alleviating the request for more pictures.

… and oh yes, I got a hair cut: no 2 all over!

Today starts another new feature. “The Nephew” has hand-picked one of his vehicles for the site.

The Nephew must have parked this up in a dodgy area at some point - someone is offski with the rear wheel trim.

Sorry the images will be a bit out of focus, my poor Nokia camera-phone doesn’t have a macro zoom function.

Feel free to comment on what you think the car make, model and year may be.

Been giving some serious thought to running some themed, serial postings for the blog - similar to the “Today’s UNICODE Character” being run by Andy Swan.

A couple strike me as ones for the short to medium term:

• Gran’s Wisdom

• Today’s Car - Brought to You By The Nephew!

You also may have older relations who come out with belters such as those listed on this site. I’d love to hear of them. Please leave me a comment.

My wee sister had a physio appointment at lunchtime, so it was up to Uncle John to babysit the nephew. Perhaps “babysit” is the wrong word as he keeps informing me:

“I’m not the baby! The baby is in mummy’s tummy!”

Well he is kind of correct as she is knocked up and almost ready to drop. He even seems to know how it is coming out. To quote the three year old little darlin’:

“It comes out of mummy’s hairy!”

My gran will not approve of him knowing this type of stuff.

“We knew nothing in our day!”, is one of her favourite sayings.

Now I’m not going to say the wee darlin’ is mental or anything, but his obsession with all things motor vehicle is a little alarming: it is carrr this, carrr that; lorr-aye this, lorr-aye that; twuck this, twuck that. Actually for a while there “truck” was sounding a little like … well it’s a swear word that rhymes with truck!

Thank goodness wee sis was only away for a short time. She made us all a cuppa to go with some biscuits. Needless to say the biscuit in the nephew’s hand wasn’t going to remain that shape for long: he is now in a dunking phase. Unfortunately the biscuit decided it would rather be infused into his tea than gulped down!
