Just had a pub lunch. Full of blokes saying "we started drinking at 1.00 and ain't gonna stop til the end of the England game." I'm not setting foot outside tonight.

Just hoovered the mini and heard a loud metallic rattle up the pipe. Can't be arsed to search through the ball of filth to see what part of my car is now in the Dyson. Hoping it was a just a penny.

You'll hit a bump, something will fall into your lap, and then you'll say "AAhhh..."

Just been into Sainsburys. Full of lots of blokes buying lots of beer. Wonder why?

Ahh, Matt Monro singing "Days Like These" just come on the radio. Speeding through a tunnel now ...

Anyone know where you can buy Abloy padlocks? Not online, want to see first.

Just spent a small fortune reinforcing the garage. Got a pretty indestructible pair of hasps and staples bolted through to the concrete and thought I might as well get the best padlocks out there. If they want the Mini, they're going to have to fight for it....

Shame. They look darn good. But you've confirmed my suspicions they are not for ordinary folk! Will look at alternatives. So many to choose fromthough ..

"Loose" instead of "lose". "Could of" instead of "could've" or "could have". It's everywhere.

"Could of" is my most hated piece of Internet bad English. I need say nothing more.

Rooting through Mini paraphernalia and found a 1997 Cooper catalogue signed by John Cooper. Thought that had been lost years ago. Off to by a frame.

Will the Hyundai i10 become a future iconic classic do you think? Thousands of them around (getting in my way) ...

Surely challenges the Honda Jizz as the 'Most inherited car' as it's always old farts driving them!

They sort of boomed back in 2010 when they had that 2k scrappage deal so you could pick one up for next to nothing. I wonder how many Minis were scrapped under that scheme ..

Don't know but mine has a sticker saying scrappage scheme survivor!

Clubman? Countryman? I'm getting my own back. From now on, it's a Cooperess.

She's technically ready to get back on the road. Just need to get round to buying tax (ahem). She spends her winter hibernating like a big, red, temperamental hedgehog. I'm a bit late this year.
