Hey guys,

Happy Friday! Any fun plans for this weekend? I thought it would be cool to post something light before shutting my laptop closed for the weekend.

So, please, describe your mood today using a car brand!

Today I am a Volvo in eco mode: sluggish and tired. 🤣

Today I have mostly been feeling like an Aston Martin Vanquish

Over taxed, over priced, overly aggressive, overly sensitive to poor road surface conditions and ridiculously noisy. 😊 But happy as a happy thing.

@Seal love this 😂 over taxed, I can relate. The sun is shining here so also happy!

@Lily Yesterday I was a Volvo for most of the day, the bits of the day I wasn’t a Volvo I was a Saab ! Yes it was ABBA Voyage day, have you seen it? Great show. It was IMHO a terrific piece of entertainment. How would I equate the show to the two vehicles! Well the old loved tracks were Volvo all the way and two of the new tracks were more Saab with a two stroke engine note, so more Saabbbb. You need to experience a verbal explanation but back in the 60s 70s in Sweden they used to define the two makes by adding a very long o sound to the Volvo suggesting speed an whooshing along whilst the Saab had the extended vocal B to indicate that two stroke engine. You had to be there to fully appreciate it 😂 Ah happy days.

I am a Moskvich Knight, overdue for a service. I picked up a bug last week, and today is the first day since Friday I actually feel a little more human. Up until Sunday I was a skip lorry with my rattly breathing imitating the rattling chains. Then yesterday I was more in sync with a council dust cart, wheezing it's way around the back streets. Today I am back to coughing and sneezing.

@Rolebama So more of a Suzuki Jimmy kinda vibe ! Not able to keep up, speed wise, with the Rage Rovers but more than capable of going anywhere they can for way less money but even more importantly getting back out, all be it a little bit slower 😉 That’ll do for me my man.

I was wondering how many people on big family days like today could use Fiat to describe their mood

i.e. like Fiat money .. to be taken at face value & not representative of actual mood

A bit too contrived maybe 🤔

[Rolebama]

Today, I feel like an old high-revving Japanese motorcycle. I think I sound like one too. Coughing and sneezing, with the occasional splutter.

[Lily]

@Rolebama just saw this, hope you are feeling a bit better now! Was it a cold or just a cough?

[Rolebama]

@Lily Thank you. I have been bed-ridden on and off for the last fortnight. It was a cross between a mild flu and a heavy cold. Seems to be shifting now though.

[Rolebama]

As an aside to the above, my wife has been buying me different potions to help, and yesterday and Thursday she has been travelling further afield as all local chemists have pretty much sold out.

[Lily]

@Rolebama glad to hear you are feeling better.

Do you think there's an issue with medications? Lack of stock or just a lot of people are sick at the same time? 🤔

[Rolebama]

According to the pharmacist: "There's a lot of it going around."
