Cabin fever...

... no, not the dodgy horror flick of a couple of years ago but me.

My trusty new car has turned out to be an absolute turkey. Have been having problems with the immobiliser for days - since, well, last Sunday when it started playing up, shortly after I'd crunched the side panel into a concrete pillar (um.... other story and the two are unconnected). The water dripping through the central roof console gave me a fair idea of what the problem might be.

Anyway, nice AA man rocked up on Monday to look at this. He took apart the central roof console, emptied it of water (while looking balefully at me like I'd done it on purpose) then went on to explain that the radio aerial leaked, which means that every time it rains, my immobiliser basically fills up with water. Which means the car won't go anywhere.

Anyway, this has dragged on all week. I simply can't bring myself to go through all the dreary details but it's still not working Luckily the agency I'm freelancing for up in Ricky have been fine with me working from home (they are in the middle of nowhere and almost impossible to get to by public transport which would be about a 4 hour round trip from here). But I'm going slowly mad in the process due to cabin fever.

I think I might need to get a full time job again. Anyone hiring out there?*
