Off we went with Bowie playing

 The Fonz has a CD player that works. It can have six ready to change......Bowie was one of them that Lee randomly picked.       Off we set with Bowie playing to take Monza for his walk.
In the golden oldie days when I still had a hair colour...usually red or pink sometimes blond and once green by accident.  I adored David Bowie. I spent months following the serious moonlight tour. So off we set with Ziggy playing guitar jamming good with Weird and Gilly and the spiders from Mars.........

 Monza waited patiently ....well kind of...     for neighbours to move their cars and then Lee loaded him into the boot of the car. He was very good about it though he was used to a big van all to himself I wondered if a car boot might be a bit of a come down for him....
 The next thing about having a car instead of a big van is that we can go and park inside the old grave yard for the walk......the van had to park in the drive.....it is easier to keep Monza away from strangers.





I took Elizabeth Taylor doll. This is the doll photo of the day......


he fits very well into the boot. which has a big window and two side windows, Monza was delighted with his new view driving by.

So when Tuesday dawned at about 4am Monza was already downstairs waiting for me to take him out. I did so in my pink dressing gown with a coat and hood as it was pouring with rain. I looked to see if the dawn was worth a photo and noted the grey mist. I brought Monza back, made tea and took a Yogurt for breakfast in my pocket and Monza and I had breakfast in bed.
Lee informed me  that the car needs to be road taxed before we can go anywhere.The fact that we did yesterday is besides the point. The post office does not open until 9am. This left quite a while. so we all went back to sleep.



Eventually it became a normal time of day and we went and got the road tax we needed. Loaded Monza into the boot of the Fonz car and set off for a drive in the mist and rain.
We headed up to the Otley Chevin planning to go around past the Royalty and Chevin pub to Otley and come back Menston way. The police had the road closed up by the Chevin as there had been a big smash up. change of plan....

The photo is all we could see, so we went to an Asda store and bought a new mobile phone as Lee had dropped his new one and smashed the screen It only kind of works. irritatingly when the phone rings it will not allow it to be answered. So we missed the call about Lee's medication delivery.
Pox.
 By the time we stopped at the local trading estate and had lunch it still rained. I stayed in the car with Monza as he is not ready to be left on his own yet......

Lee was gone about half an hour. When he returned the car would not start as the battery had run down......so we had to jump start it in the car park.
The adventures start.........so new battery it is then.


" He played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band....."




"done it!" said Lee as he came in for dinner. "lots of things fixed today!"
"oh good. We can have dinner then"
He had fixed the central locking system. The Fonz has a few faults.....comparatively he is new and pristine.... but.there are a few niggles..... a sixteen year old car  which has had some very obvious prangs and cost £250.00 ...So what do you expect?
a slushing noise when we brake........and the central locking mostly the boot and an extremely dodgy back door which has had a very obvious prang. The paint work does not match and the door has no handle. This is okay as there are three other doors that do.
we keep discovering things....like a shades holder up above the driving seat. it fell open and out popped a pair of wraparound shades with Harley Davidson  logo on one side. AND the boot is a twin opening tailgate...for putting in shopping........two electric sun roofs and lots of controls on the steering wheel for this and that......

"Now Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'em to hang
'Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan...................."
