322/365:2010 Running Low

Arrived home tonight with not much petrol left. Are we sometimes running on empty?

288/365:2010 Westward Leading

The new variable speed limit signs on the M1 heading west between Stockman's Lane and Dunmurry. Does anyone actually stick to the reduced speeds? Is it making any difference to traffic?

214/365:2010 Farewell Fiesta

Saying goodbye to our old car today, and reminded of all the travels and adventures we had with it.

157/365:2010 Steering Wheel

A bit of a disappointment of a photo, really - today I was preaching away, at Upper Falls (which is really very upper Falls, as it's actually the Parish Church in Suffolk), but it was raining when I was coming out so didn't get a photo. In the end, I did a bit of driving, so I suppose the photo represents my day! Maybe I'll be back at Upper Falls some other time to get a photo...

144/365:2010 Testing, Testing

MOT today and the car passed! Hurray! A week of holiday began today so there's lots of wee things to get sorted this week, as well as getting to know Pippa!

120/365:2010 Distance to Empty

The car's computer gives several measures including this one - distance to empty. The number of miles that you should be able to cover until the tank is empty.

Today marks the first third of 365 completed (in terms of months!), but there's another 245 days until we're done. 245 more photo ideas to come up with.

(Plus, just for Wils, we listened to Radio Ulster - the Colin Murray late night programme in Friday nights!)

098/365:2010 Night Driving

Perhaps the closest to midnight I've got without having my photo taken... Don't worry, I wasn't driving at the time...

068/365:2010 Frosty Car

Another frosty start, but at least it was sunny all day!

039/365:2010 MPG

Our car has one of those onboard computers that calculates all kinds of things. One of them is MPG - miles per gallon. It's the one that can change the most and I like to keep an eye on it from time to time. There are too many traffic lights and stop-starts in Belfast for a good mpg but every so often with a full tank and a good run of green lights you can keep it over 50 for a while!

035/365:2010 Rainy Windscreen

Waiting on Lyns finishing work, this was the scene looking out the window of the car. Rain drops, red lights, and street lights showing the buildings of Ballyclare.

As Peter Kay would say, it was the fine rain that soaks you through...
