Cars back but going back in again <sigh>

WAHAY i have my car back...BOOHOO it has to go back in next week...It is fixed but needs more fixing...I was mortified on tues...I went to go and collect the boys from club...Had to phone them to tell them to take the bus home as i was sat in middle of a junction broken down...A very busy junction :o(  Two nice fellas came and pushed the car over to the other side of the junction at the side of the street...They asked me to put on my warning lights...Said i can't as i think it's the electrics...Anytime i put on the indicator, tried to close the windows (electric) or did anything to the radio the engine cut out...So i switched off the radio, left the lights well alone and didn't dare touch the windows and got it started again...Fortunately it was that way to my garage...Drove round and parked it and said the electrics are capput to one of the mechanics...Garage bossman wasn't around but then he just drew up...So i left that loan car to get fixed and he said he had good news and bad news about my car...Good news being that the part had finally arrived at place he was getting it from and i should have car back yesterday or today...Bad news was a lorry knocked my passenger side wing mirror...But he had got the name and details of the driver and he'd ordered a new wing mirror...He's sending the bill to the lorry company...The wing mirror isn't here yet which is why it needs to go back in next week...I LOVE driving but i am beginning to HATE cars just now LOL...Oh well hey de ho life and cars are sent to try us all LOL.

Yesterday was hot hot hot and then around this time the sky went black and the rain came down...Today has been hot hot hot again but the heavens have been threatening to open all afternoon...What we really need here is a good thunderstorm to clear the air but it's not happening...My pots of flowers are a disaster...Plenty greenery but no flowers...One of the lilies looked like it was going to flower but it's gone very sad looking now...The two other lilies both have at least 2 flower heads on them...Fingers crossed they do actually flower...I still have some pots just floating with water :o(  I don't have any houseplants because i have the greenfingers of death with them...Looks like am the same with anything outside too...Well i tried at least which is main thing...Sadly i didn't get any pics of the californian lilac as the flowers have all gone in the last week...It was raining too much to go out and take any pics...Apart from that nowt much been happening...Hope everyone is ok and not flooded or anything...Also hope no-one is off to the areas of europe that are affected by the extreme heat...It's sad seeing all the floods in the UK but it's also sad seeing what the extreme high temperatures over there have done to the land and people...100's dead in the heat :o(
